Lyrics:
Make me sanguine
Help me genuinely
Kill the doubt that strangles myself worth
Paint the picture that I swore I heard
Spiritless and mean
Ghost that comes between
I will keep my wits about myself
Disregard directions sent from hell
When it brings the gleam
Longer lasting than me
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't hear me cry
Oh my love but we are bound to die
My heart is broke but you won't see me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. When I Drink
Tuning: 2
Tabbed By: Mickel_S
Verse 1:
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
I do things i don't wanna do
I talk mean to you.
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
My parents taught me to learn when i miss
Just do your best.
Just do your best.
Chorus:
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Verse 2:
But when I drink, I hear things that aren't really there
I feel things when i shouldn't really care
Have fist fights with the air.
But if I think, about someone besides myself
I lived through the silver and the bell
With something to tell
Just do your best
Chorus:
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Verse 3:
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
But we only get so many days
Now I have one less
Just do your best.
Chorus:
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
at least a little better than I've been so far.
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.

3. Yard Sale
Tuning: 1
Tabbed By: Unregistered (thanks for your help!)
I wonder if this blade ran through someone's side
The blood wiped away to hide
How evil you grandfather was 'fore he died
But war can make monsters out of us all
I'm sure I'd become one if I was called
And then it would be my blade
Here at this yard sale
The guitar I am holding is way out of tune
The neck it is warped and the saddle is through
I wonder if sweet music ever was played
From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade
From this rickety ghost of a song
Here at this yardsale
A dollar for anything here on this quilt
A price tag for hands from which all things are built
A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame
Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same
A basket of nothing at all
Here at this yardsale
So if I had the money I'd buy everything
And cover the whole lot with good gasoline
And burn it for all that I care for the past
And rid mother earth of what never should last
And give her the present of ash
Made of a yard sale

Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man yeah the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind
Am I growing backwards with time
Some say with age that our purpose comes clear
I see the opposite happening here
Are we losing the fight
Are we growing backwards with time
I was young and love was fun
Now its so serious
Now all my fun has equal pain
Theres something wrong with this
For all I know theres more I don’t
Oh the little I have learned
For every year of knowledge gained
Is a negative year ive earned
Folk always told me that my heart would grow
The older the man yeah the stronger the stone
Am I losing my mind
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. If It's The Beaches
Tuning: 5
Tabbed By: Unregistered & Macheeoo
Intro:
Don't say it's over
Cause that's the worst news I
could hear I swear that I will
Do my best to be here
just the way you like it
Even though its hard to hide
Push my feelings all aside
I will rearrange my plans and
change for you
If I could go back
That's the first thing I would do
I swear that I would
Do my best to follow through
Come up with a master plan
A homerun hit, a winning stand
A gaurantee and not a promise
That I'll never let your love
slip from my hands

If it's the beaches
If it's the beaches' sands you want
Then you will have them
If it's the mountains' bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it's the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when
we forget why we left here

6. Find My Love
Tuning: 1
Tabbed By: Macheeoo
What makes it easy to treat people bad?
Some things you say and you can't take 'em back
What makes it easy to run from the past,
like a child runs from the dark?
Which is the poison and which is the wine?
The scent and the colors are so much alike
And how much of each will it take to decide,
when your at the table alone?
Where do you go when it's perfectly clear?
You might find your way but you won't find it here
What makes it easy to sound so sincere,
when you know that you don't care?
Love gets lost
Love gets lost
Find my love
Find my love
How can you tell when goodbye means goodbye
Not just for now, for the rest of you life
How can you stand there with love in you eyes
And still be walking away
Love gets lost
Love gets lost
Find my love
Find my love
Find my love
Find my love
