Dark And Dirty Mile

  A
I refuse to spend the rest of
     D
my days trying to get away
     A
from all the things I did
            E
when I knew not what I had done

      A
Oh so young and tired of love
                  D
was not an item my own
                 A
bottle always refused to hear them 
tell me
          E
not to stare into the sun

A
This pornographic place told me
    D                           
a body was to be feared and then 
 A
wanted at the same
                 E
time man, if you could figure how.

A
Fear because it was the pathway
 D                             
to a mortal sin and then wanted 
 A
because we'll all be dust a
E                    A
few short years from now.

Chorus:
E                                 
It's a broken hearted world that 
   D
we inherit
E                            D
All we're told is to do sit and bear
 it

For a little while,
D                      A
On this dark and dirty mile.

V2

A
Took awhile at least for me
       D
to live enough 'till I believed in
  A
none of what I heard and less than
E
half of what I saw
A
Mark the days have come and gone
        D
some are lost and some are wrong
    A
and way back home we'll figure out
   E
a place to place it all


Chorus:
E                                 
It's a broken hearted world that 
   D
we inherit
E                            D
All we're told is to do sit and bear
 it
A
For a little while,
D                          A
On this dark and dirty mile
D                          A
We're all family here on trial
D                       A      D
On this dark and dirty mile

Instrumental with verse A, D, 
finishing D, E, A

V3
A
Finally I realized that
D
knowledge better make you wise
    A
and all the knots you tied
     E
will leave you in a ball.
A
Helpless as when we were born
  D
thread barren and holy worn
    A
out shivering as summer
          E
gives way to early fall

Chorus:
E                                 
It's a broken hearted world that 
   D
we inherit
E                            D
All we're told is to do sit and bear
 it
A
For a little while,
D                          A
On this dark and dirty mile
D                          A
We're all family here on trial
D                       A      D
On this dark and dirty mile
