D I think I tried to wake up too fast Bm From what must have been a two year nap G A D Then I hit my head and it was back to bed for a while I woke up twenty-four in Texas Bm Breaking a sweat to expand my Nexus G A When it occurred to me, maybe I shouldn't be D Making excuses to cope so liberally They say some things just don't wash out Bm But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about G And now years have gone by A But it's still stuck in my mind D Some things just don't wash out D For too long now I've sung the same sad song Bm But I didn't even write it; I was just singing along G A But the problem with change is it's hard D Like finding lively conversation in graveyards I hit the nail on the head, drove it straight through my hand Bm I have martyred myself in a scheme not so grand G A More deserving of men left to rot in a rag D Haven't done shit with my life and my skin is starting to sag G You drink too much, your mind's unfit A You really can't afford to live like this G You're only almost there, but still so far A Everyone? Everyone! D They say some things just don't wash out Bm But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about G And now years have gone by A But it's still stuck in my mind D Some things just don't wash out Eb2 Weak sister, close your eyes Eb3 D#4 Lay your burdens down and fall asleep Eb5 D Eb2 Life starts again tomorrow D Eb2 Eb3 You need this, you want that D#4 You're better off alone Eb5 A You need this, you want that Eb2 D You've gotta dig Eb2 Eb3 You've got to dig D#4 You've gotta dig Eb5 Eb2 You've got to dig D They say some things just don't wash out Bm But I've been dying to know what getting clean is all about G And now years have gone by A But it's still stuck in my mind D Some things just don't wash out Bm Some things just don't wash out G Now years have gone by A But it's still stuck in my mind D Some things just don't wash out
