[Verse 1]
    A5                           G5                   D5
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors
        A5
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless
G5           D5
counselors before.
               Bm
They said, "We all care for you,
   G5
we know how you suffer,
      A5
But I know you can succeed,
I used to have it so much rougher."

[Chorus]
        G5          D5         A5            D5
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes.
        G5      D5               A5           D5
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise
         G5       D5          A5  Bm
And like fools we trust the delivery,
         G5       D5       A5 D5
But it's all just drunk sincerity.
     G5       D5       A5  D5
It's all just drunk sincerity.

[Verse 2]
     A5                             G5               D5
In maternal family 'sembly poised regarding the blue tube,
    A5                              G5
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of
D5
view.
         Bm
Then the generals said,
         G5
"We dont want our boys dead.
     A5
Your sons and your husbands will be coming back heroes soon.
"

[Chorus]
        G5          D5         A5            D5
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes.
        G5      D5               A5           D5
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise
         G5       D5          A5  Bm
And like fools we trust the delivery,
         G5       D5       A5 D5
But it's all just drunk sincerity.
     G5       D5       A5  D5
It's all just drunk sincerity.

[Verse 3]
A5 D5   A5
   With steam,
                  G5               D5
and rhythm in the back seat of the car
       A5                                    G5
And adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to
    D5
the stars,
          Bm
You heard love from the lips,
         G5
you were rapt by the hips
        A5
And the promise was eternal,
but you couldn't see that far.

[Chorus]
        G5          D5         A5            D5
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes.
        G5      D5               A5           D5
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise
         G5       D5          A5  Bm
And like fools we trust the delivery,
         G5       D5       A5  D5
But it's all just drunk sincerity.
     G5       D5       A5  D5
It's all just drunk sincerity.
     G5       D5       A5  Bm
It's all just drunk sincerity.
      G5       D5       A5 D5
It is all just drunk sincerity.
