You Are My Incentive
By Kevin Devine
G D7 C C
Your bearings are shot and your car don't work like she used to
G D7 C C
Your friends don't call and they don't even bother with offering excuses
G D7 C C
Your TV is on, but it's always on, so it's useless
G D7 C C
Just the awful news and the sorry truth that we're definitely sinking
G D7 C D7 G G
So I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
D7 C D7 G G
You'll just hurt your chest and your face'll turn bright blue
D7 C D7 C D7
This is how it's gonne be,This is how it'll be and there's nothing that we
G G
can do
D7 C D7 G G
And if you start believing that I'll stop holding my breath too
G D7 C
You've been praying for change but you ain't seen a church since the 10th
C
grade
G D7 C
You cry at your job, don't believe in your vote, and never celebrate your
C
birthday
G D7 C C
So you set up a dinner to make you feel less desperate, and worthless
G D7 C
But your dad gets drunk so your mom throws a fit while your man hits on the
C
waitress
G D7 C D7 G G
So I wouldn't waste my time if I were you
D7 C D7 G G
You'll just snap your spine and strip away your youth
D7 C D7 C D7
This is how it's gonne be, This is how it i'll be and there's nothing that we
G G
can do
D7 C D7 G G
And if you start believing that I'll stop wasting my time too
G
Because you're my incentive
C D7 G G G G
And if you go, I go too
