From the album “Suicide Handbook” 

Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between 
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus), 
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works 
best.

Intro: G  / Gsus4  /  G  /  Gsus4 /  etc

Verse 1:
G
 If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all

But I don't know anything anymore

I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
  a*  b*   C
They were outside just poundin' on the door


Verse 2: 
G
 Ladies in the corner want to borrow your smokes

As if returning them would do any good

Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
 a*   b* C
That for everyone eventually comes


Chorus 1:     
C                D   DaddB  C
 I know I got a long way to go
C                   D  DaddB  C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C                   D DaddB  C
I see the words but I don't know
                          D       DaddB            
I'm slipping through the cracks
                          Am                            G       Gsus4  G  Gsus4  G  
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph


Verse 3:
G
 I got a letter in my pocket and a pain in my tooth

And there's money in the bank up the street

I got a jacket that would fit you
             a*  b*  C
And a couple of old guitars that I'd like for you to keep


Verse 4:
G
 If you run into my sister tell her "Elvis is cool

but the Rolling Stones will sweep her away"

And money's always worth it on a Monday night
  a*  b*  C
Cause on Friday she should get it for free


Chorus 2:
C                D   DaddB  C
 I know I got a long way to go
C                   D  DaddB  C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C                   D DaddB  C
I see the words but I don't know
                          D       DaddB            
I'm slipping through the cracks
                          Am                            
I'm slipping through the cracks . . .


Bridge:

Bm                                               G  Gsus4 G Gsus4
 And everybody's dancing as the ship's going down
Bm                      D DaddC DaddB DaddC D DaddC DaddB DaddC D  G  G sus4     
 Why is it taking so long? (indecipherable………)


Verse 5:
G
 If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all

But I don't know anything anymore

I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
 a* b* C
And I don't know what for


Verse 6:
G
 Ladies in the corner want to borrow my smokes

As if returning 'em would do any good

Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
 a* b* C
And everybody knows it too


Chorus 3:     
C                D   DaddB  C
 I know I got a long way to go
C                   D  DaddB  C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C                   D DaddB  C
I see the words but I don't know
                          D       DaddB            
I'm slipping through the cracks
                          Am                            G       Gsus4  G  Gsus4  G  
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph
