James and the Shame - Give A Damn

[Instrumental]

A F#m
(4x)

[Verse 1]
A F#m
Ain’t it funny how some guys who lived
A F#m
Well before your time
A F#m
Could make you think what you think
A F#m
God thinks about wine
A F#m
That kind of thing will draw you in
A F#m
If you are like me
A F#m
Why live for the here and now
A F#m
When you’ve got eternity?

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm E
They say a life unexamined is a life that’s not worth living
Bm E
But I’m pretty sure I’ve grayed my beard with all these fucks I’ve given

[Chorus]
A F#m
I can’t help but give a damn, but damn sometimes I wish I didn’t
Bm E
First time I heard of the great beyond I was surely smitten
A F#m
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
Bm E
I’ve got something in my pocket that’ll give sight to the blind

[Instrumental]

A F#m
(x4)

[Verse 2]
A F#m
I grew up and read some stuff
A F#m
Outside of the good book
A F#m
Shaken to my very core
A F#m
I took another look
A F#m
I’d been wrong and they’d been right
A F#m
But one thing still remains
A F#m
If you’re the one who’s got the truth
A F#m
You gotta set people straight

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm E
They say a life unexamined is a life that’s not worth living
Bm E
But I’m pretty sure I’ll gray your beard with all these fucks I’m given

[Chorus]
A F#m
I can’t help by give a damn, but damn sometimes I wish I didn’t
Bm E
First time I saw someone’s eyes light up I was surely smitten
A F#m
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
Bm E
I’ve got this little article that just might change your mind

[Chorus]
A F#m
I can’t help by give a damn but damn sometimes I wish I didn’t
Bm E
First time I heard of the great beyond, I was surely smitten
A F#m
I could be one of the chosen few, be on the front lines
Bm E
I’ve got this little molecule that just might change your mind

[Instrumental]
