intro A 

A                             
Fuck you you're drunk and acting tough 
E 
I know you're sad 
                            D 
You're not the only one who feels like that now 

A 
And maybe anger is your only choice 
E 
But maybe heart and fist and human voice 
D 
Might be the better way 
       Bm  A 
Be the way 

      D                        A 
Cause we, we will still need a song

To carry our love away 
             D 
To carry it away  
                     A 
We will still need a song 
             Em        G 
To carry our hearts away 
               D 
To carry them away 

A 
Don't let another tear be in your eyes 
E 
We can die in peace knowing we tried 
   D 
To change our own ways 

A 
The poets let a generation down 
E 
And modern music could be the healing sound 
         D 
It's the only way 
     Bm A 
Only way 

D                              A

To carry our love away 
             D 
To carry it away 
                     A 
We will still need a song 
                Em        G 
To dance on our wedding day 
            D 
To carry it away

To carry them away

To dance on our wedding day

To carry it away

I'm tired of feeling bad
