Cocaine And Abel

[Intro]
Am C/G G G/G#
Am G/B C Cadd9 G G/G#
Am

[Verse 1]
    Am                             C/G
The distance from the man that I am   to the man I want to
  G
be
G/G#    Am                      G/B C
    The time it takes to realize    time is the distance I
  G
need
          G/G#
But I was born impatient,
F
 and I was born unkind
Am                G/B    C                      Cadd9
  But I refuse to believe I have to be the same person I
was born when I die
G G/G#                   Am
      'Cause change is alright
C/G C Cadd9 G/B         Am
            Change is alright

[Verse 2]
Am          C/G                          G
  I'm not proud of all the choices I've made for a lot of
       G/G#
my life
Am                 C/G                      G
  Following the shadow when I damn well know that behind me
is the light
                    F
But I've lied to my mother,
                        Am
I made people feel like hell
             G/B    C
But I refuse to believe I have to keep being
     Cadd9                      G
cruel     'cause I'm a coward myself

[Verse 3]
G                F
 And time is impatience, no,
              Am
patience takes  time
       G/B     C                      Cadd9                G
Excuses   will only do good if you're waiting around to die

[Bridge]
F                          Am
Everyone is born with self worth,
    G
how easily it turns to doubt
Am   F                           C                         G
  It takes letting go of what we know we can't live without

[Verse 4]
G                          F                   Am
 But the blood in the water is the blood of my brother
        G/B        C                          Cadd9
We both learned it didn't mean a thing in the end  if one
                      G
was thicker than the other
                     F
And I've tried having faith,
                    Am
but I'll rot like a dove
G/B         C                       Cadd9
'Cause I've always been scared of loving someone just a
E                       Am     C/G G
little bit more than I'm  loved

[Outro]
G/G#
Losing is fine
Am C/G G     G/G#     Am
        Everything is fine
