Some Things Dont Wash Out

[D]I think I tried to wake up too fast
From what must have been a [Bm]two year nap
Then I [G]hit my head and it was b[A]ack to bed for a w[D]hile

I woke up twenty-four in Texas
Breaking a s[Bm]weat to expand my Nexus
When it oc[G]curred to me, maybe I s[A]houldn't be
Making ex[D]cuses to cope so liberally

They say some things just don't wash out
But I've been dying to know w[Bm]hat getting clean is all about
And now ye[G]ars have gone by
But it's s[A]till stuck in my mind
[D]Some things just don't wash out
[D]For too long now I've sung the same sad song
But I di[Bm]dn't even write it; I was just singing along
But the pr[G]oblem with change is it's [A]hard
Like finding lively conv[D]ersation in graveyards

I hit the nail on the head, drove it straight through my hand
I have ma[Bm]rtyred myself in a scheme not so grand
More des[G]erving of men left to [A]rot in a rag
Haven't done s[D]hit with my life and my skin is starting to sag
[G]You drink too much, your mind's unfit
You re[A]ally can't afford to live like this
You're only a[G]lmost there, but still so far
[A]Everyone? Everyone!
[D]They say some things just don't wash out
But I've been dying to k[Bm]now what getting clean is all about
And now ye[G]ars have gone by
But it's still [A]stuck in my mind
[D]Some things just don't wash out
Weak sister, close your [Eb2]eyes
[Eb3]Lay your burdens down and fall a[D#4]sleep
Life starts ag[Eb5]ain tomorro[D]w   [Eb2]
[D]You need this[Eb2], you [Eb3]want that
You're better off al[D#4]one
You need this[Eb5], you want that[A]
[Eb2]You've gotta di[D]g
You've g[Eb2]ot to di[Eb3]g
You've gotta [D#4]dig
You've got to d[Eb5]ig     [Eb2]
[D]They say some things just don't wash out
But I've been dying to k[Bm]now what getting clean is all about
And now ye[G]ars have gone by
But it's still [A]stuck in my mind
[D]Some things just don't wash out
[Bm]Some things just don't wash out
Now y[G]ears have gone by
But it's still[A] stuck in my mind
[D]Some things just don't wash out
