G                   Em
Inking up, it wasn’t half as fun
         A7
As you dreamt it’d be
          D7 
Is it my dear?

G                           Em
You were bright, for almost one whole night
              A7                                             D7
But then came all the callings, the longing, the crying, the tears
        C        G
So I'll bid you adieu
    C               G
So long, fare thee well
         Am                                
I can't contemplate my greatness
            D7
While I'm shackled next to hell


             C             G
Letting the heat absorb my body
          Am           Em
But I'll never get the burn
           C                 D
Though you might get lonely baby
               G
It ain't your turn

(Riff)


G                     Em
Growing up, I never interrupt
             A7
My brothers fisticuffs
        D7
With my face
G                       Em
He would go, punching me in the throat
          A7      
Now those days are gone
                    D7
I've grown up, I've changed


       C             G
So the beatings must end
  C               G
I mean this to offend
          Am                          D7
But I had better be unconscious if I sleep with you again
             C              G                 Am         Em
You're like Jesus in the morning, but you’re Judas after ten 
           C                 D
Though you might get horny baby
                 G
I ain't your friend

(Riff)

G                         Em
Doors are closed, animals in their homes
                A7
It's easier to live alone
                  D7
Then against the grid
    G                      Em
The bed is made, its dirty but it's safe
                    A7 
It's brilliance was robbed that day
                 D7
so now I keep it hid


     C           G
If I am in your town
     C         G
I’ll see you around
         Am
It's not hard to spot you walking
          D7
Since you step like such a clown
            C               G
Where I can see a patch of smog above
   Am               Em
I know you can be found
            C                D 
Though you might forgive me baby
             G        G7
I'm finished now

             C               G
Where I can see a patch of smog above
  Am                Em
I know you can be found
           C                 D    
Though you might forgive me babe,
    G 
Oh no

(Riff)
