A Toast

Intro: G-C-D-C- (2x)

verse 1: 

G                C 
you tell me that you 
wanna go to heaven 
        D 
but you run around acting 
            C 
like you're gonna live 
G 
  forever you tell me that 
       C 
you're going through hell 
           D 
but you're putting others 
               C 
through it you say that i 
             D 
smell like i haven't had 
            C 
a shower in 23 days 
        D 
like an unbalanced beer 
        C 
can two minutes too late 
  G 
a look like a stale face 
C 
from a fresh grave with 
  D 
a chip on my shoulder 
       C 
and an eye full of rage 
Refrain 1: 
D         C 
  can you taste that beer 
          D 
with your back to the 
             Em 
bar can you smell a 
cigarette without 
C                       D 
letting down your guard? 



G          D 
  ten cans 4 a.m. friends 
    C 
the sad thing is that 
       D 
you've always been like 
    G 
this moaning in a bed 
D 
shaped like a hearse 
            C 
believe the lies that 
                 D 
you tell yourself 

Post Chorus: G-C-D-C (2x)

verse 2:
 
G 
you tell me that my 
C 
problem is thinking 
          D 
but i can chase it 
            C 
away with a problem 
             G 
like drinking way you 
                  C 
tell me you don't wanna 
get old but you've got 
  D 
a party on the line and 
  C 
a grave on hold like a 
D 
drunk operator like a 
C 
game of roulette, like 
  D 
a martini balanced on 
  C 
a whiffle ball bat 
       G 
when a hard wind blows 
     C 
it's gonna fall down 
         D 
when the wind blows 
there'll be broken 
C 
glass all around 
(Repeat Refrain 1)
 


G          D

       D 
you've always been like 
    G 
this moaning in a bed 
D 
shaped like a hearse 
            C 
believe the lies that 
you tell yourself 
D 
  thinking you'll 
          G    G G G G G G
