[D] [C] [G] [F] [D]
I ain't [C] sure but I've been [D] told he's been kicked
Sighed our souls, stayed awake, [C] took a [G] nap
Got [F] myself my bottles [Am] back, I'm breaking them [Cm] out on [G] the street
Walking [F] around with my bare [Am] feet, I do not [C] need you to [G] tell me that I'm [F] not a cat
[D] I caught a ride, he [C] caught some [D] air, he's never gonna cut his hair
It takes [C] more time to make it [G] fake, we now [F] swam down [Am] in the lake
And washed the dirt [Cm] off our [D] intentions, rattled [F] on about that [A] inmate
[C] [Gm]
[F] [Am] I came [C] as ass, I came [G] as a whore, [C] I came as a vice, I came too short
I came as gold, [G] I came as crap, [Am] I came clean and I came as a rat
[C] It takes a long time, [G] but God dies too, [C] the night before [Am] I feel sick to you
[C]
[G] [C] [A] [C]
[G] [C] [A] [C] Well I don't know, [G] but I've been told [C] you'll never die and you'll never [F] grow old
[Dm]
[C] [E] [Em]
[A] [Dm]
[C] [Em]
[Am] I came as a call, [E] I came as flat, [F] I came too soon so I [A] came [G] back
I came as flowers, I came as [C] nice, I came as dirt, and I [A] came as his [G] price
It takes a long time, but God dies [Am] too, the night [Em] before I feel sick to you
Well I don't know, but I've been told you'll never die, and you'll never grow old
[D]
I [C] don't know, [G] but I've been told she never [F] doubted me when we were old.
