drunk sincerity

[Intro]
G D A D [x2]

A G D
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors
A G D
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless councelors before
B G
They said "we all care for you, we know how you suffer
A
But I know you can succeed, I used to have it so much rougher"

G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity

A G D
In maternal family assembly poised regarding the blue tube
A G D
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of view
B G
Then the generals said "we don't want our boys dead
A
Your sons and your husbands will be coming back heroes soon"

G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity

A G D
With steam, heat, and rythym in the back seat of the car
A G D
And adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars
B G
You heard love from the lips and you were rapt by the hips
A
And the promise was eternal but you couldn't see that far

G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity
