[Intro]
G D A D [x2]
 
A G D
The smell of virgin pages wafted through the swinging doors 
A G D
And the croaking speech he'd heard from countless councelors before 
B G
They said "we all care for you, we know how you suffer 
A
But I know you can succeed, I used to have it so much rougher" 
 
G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes 
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise 
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery 
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity 
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity 
 
A G D
In maternal family assembly poised regarding the blue tube 
A G D
The numbers crept up higher and the hawks stayed out of view 
B G
Then the generals said "we don't want our boys dead 
A
Your sons and your husbands will be coming back heroes soon" 
 
G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes 
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise 
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery 
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity 
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity 
 
A G D
With steam, heat, and rythym in the back seat of the car 
A G D
And adolescent perspective projecting life's forecast to the stars 
B G
You heard love from the lips and you were rapt by the hips 
A
And the promise was eternal but you couldn't see that far 
 
 
G D A D
There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes 
G D A D
It's so easy to be mislead by the savvy gentle guise 
G D A B
And like fools we trust the delivery 
G D A D
But it's all just drunk sincerity 
G D A D
It's all just drunk sincerity
