G A D
    It's the children that I feel for,
G A D
    Yes the children make you feel more,
G A Bm
    More that the liquor,
Em
More than the art,
G                        D
More that the Beach Boys records.


[Verse]
G A D
    It's the drink that gives us heartache,
G A D
    It's the charity we won't take,
G A Bm
    We feel so empty,
Em
And our late twenties,
G                         D
Should be better times


[Chorus]
G
It's the love and the truth and hope and the faith.
D
That will destroy us in the end
G
It's the look in the eyes of those one nights stands
D
That gives us the will to pretend
G
It's the feeling of fucking, the people that we're loving,
D
That spurs us onto endless sleepless nights
        Bm                F#m              G
And love Will destroy us in the end


[Verse]
G A D
    There’s not a thing that I can save
G A D
    From all those wasted, wasted days,
G A Bm
    And there’s no faith
Em
That will ever save me
G                         D
From being faithful.


[Verse]
G A D
    And the damn phone never rings,
G A D
    And I would give up everything,
G A Bm
    For a little wine,
Em
some conversation
G                         D
And just for being healthy.


[Chorus]
G
It's the love and the truth and hope and the faith.
D
That will destroy us in the end
G
It's the look in the eyes of those one nights stands
D
That gives us the will to pretend
G
It's the feeling of fucking, the people that we're loving,
D
That spurs us onto endless sleepless nights
        Bm                F#m              G
And love Will destroy us in the end
