Front Porch

D                           G    
Driven to silence but I'm 
     D
drowning in sin
                          G        
My mandolin hangs on the wall once 
   A
again
D                               
I can't seem to find the right words
F#m
 from within
G                A          D
But I won't be looking for long

[Verse 2]
D                        G   
There comes a time when nothing 
          D
seems clear
When you're passed out on the front 
              G           A
porch with a head full of beer
D                           F#m
Confused and clouded by thoughts of 
you dear
        G        A          D
But I won't be thinking for long

[Verse 3]
D                  G         D
So many years ago when I was pure
I was drunk on direction but 
     G           A
afflicted with a cure
D                            F#m
For all ailments cynical, that's how
 things were
        G            A           D
But I didn't stay drunk for too long

[Verse 4]
D                            
Notions and knowledge came and 
   G         D
sobered me up
I sipped from their bottle and I 
  G              A
slammed a whole cup
D                                 
That swill seemed to sit well, but
   F#m
 I should've thrown it up
            G        A          
'Cause it didn't sit well for too 
   D
long

[Middle 8]
Bm                    G        A
I was a fool, I was stupid because
       Bm                      G  
I was mistaking knowledge for just
         A
 a good buzz
Bm                            G
Five years drunk on wine and words 
and wit
           Em                   
Served by cynics and charlatans, 
            A
they were all full of shit

[Middle 8]
Bm                              G
Empty cans of frustration and 
        A
cans of regret
          Bm                   
Line the living room floor that 
   G            A
you've often swept
      Bm                  G
Pop another one open and retch at 
the stench
        Em                         
It's a hard drink to swallow for a 
  A
thirst you can't quench

[Verse 5]
      D                            
But there'll, there'll come a time 
      G             D
when it all seems clear
When your passed out on the front 
                 G            A
porch with your head full of beer
    D                     F#m
Confused and clouded by thoughts of 
you dear
        G        A          D
But I won't be clouded for long

[Verse 6]
D                                 
Now I'm driven to silence and I'm 
  G         D
drowning in sin
                          G        
My mandolin hangs on the wall once 
   A
again
D                               
I can't seem to find the right words
F#m
 from within
        G        A          D
But I won't be looking for long

 D                       F#m
I'll stink of drink till I let you 
in
        G        A          D
Then I won't be stinking for long
        G        A          D
No, I won't be stinking for long
