Performed at Glass Cactus June 2012
Standard Tuning - Capo 2
Intro: A
Verse 1:
I [A]refuse to spend the rest of my [D]days
Trying to get away from [A]all the things
I did when I [E]knew not what Iâ??d done
Oh so [A]young and tired and luck was not an [D]item
My bottle always [A]refused to hear them tell me
Not to [E]stare into the [A]sun
This [A]fornographic place told me a [D]body was to be feared
And then [A]wanted at the same time friend if [E]you figure how
[A]Fear because it was a pathway [D]to a mortal sin
And then you [A]want it
â??Cause weâ??ll all be dus[E]t a few short years f[A]rom now
Chorus:
Itâ??s [E]a broken hearted world that we [D]inherit
[E]All weâ??re told to do is sit an[D]d bear it
A D A D â?? E
For a little while on the dark and dirty mile
Verse 2:
It [A]took a while at least for me to [D]live enough â??till I believed
And [A]donâ??t know what I heard and less tha[E]n half of what I saw
Market [A]days have come and gone
[D]Some were lost and some were wrong
And [A]the way back home weâ??ll figure out [E]a place to place i[A]t all
Chorus:
Itâ??s [E]a broken hearted world that we [D]inherit
[E]All weâ??re told to do is sit an[D]d bear it
For a little [A]while [D] on the dark and dirty [A]mile
[D] Weâ??re all family here i[A]n trail
[D] On this dark and dirty [A]mile[D]

Verse 3:
[A]Finally I realized that [D]knowledge better make you wise
Or [A]all the knots you learned will [E]leave you in a ball
Help[A]less as when we were born
[D]Thread of hair and held [A]out shivering
As summer gives [E]way to early [A]fall
Chorus:
Itâ??s [E]a broken hearted world that we [D]inherit
[E]All weâ??re told to do is sit an[D]d bear it
For a little [A]while [D] on the dark and dirty [A]mile
[D] Weâ??re all family here i[A]n trail
[D] On this dark and dirty [A]mile[D]

Enjoy. I pretty sure he said he wrote this song Stoney. This is not on an album, so this is the best I could do with my video recording.
