[Gm]
[Eb]
[Bb] Three brides before [Gm] breakfast These weds, they just [Cm] wrecked us right
Hand [G] on my heart, oh [Eb] well, my left hand [Bb] Stabs your necklace
Each day it's a little more [Gm] scary Holding on in a way we just [Cm] barely
Moms and dads are rationed [Eb] in their cash [F] Or the [Dm] councilor could arm [Gm] against us
I [Eb] love going [F] all [Dm] the way [Gm] [Cm] To heaven [F] someone gave [Bb] me
A new slave to the blank [Gm] page Canary, the American Eclipse
[Cm] Cropped beard, [F] looking up pink [Bb] slur
[Gm] [Cm]
[Eb] [F] [Bb] This mistress to go [Gm] back
Hey, when I know I wasn't ever, ever [Cm] happy Show me my best memories
[Eb] It's probably [F] super [Bb] crappy Nine years, done in [Gm] Texas
With sluts, both [Cm] sexes Fires, lumps, and drug [Eb] acts
And drunks, [F] I love my [Dm] fence But I [Gm] can't start [Eb] without [F] going
All [Dm] [Gm]
[Cm] that [F] way since 83 [Bb] Oh, midwife with a jet lag
[Gm] F-O-G with a golden spliff [Cm] A prostitute [F] paid in pink [Bb] slips
Crack a Cadillac in the Valley of [Gm] Mirrors When the call came, there was nobody [Cm] here
When they came for the communist I kissed a [Eb] mama's lips
When they came for the [F] seaman's head I hate the bitch [Dm] that's sold
[Gm] [Cm] [F]
[Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] Stuck in thousands, just dreaming and [Gm] drifting Unofficially [Eb] lifted, only happy till the age of [F] ten
It's still a gift, but we can't go back [Eb] To those two, [F] two southern [Dm] men
[Gm] It's [C] just a dream we [F] all have [Bb] in vain
Mariner, the dirt train, [Gm] and all folks who oppose the apocalypse
[Cm] From Academy [F] Awards to pink slips
[Bb] A show in my cabaret with no F4 [Gm] years Now I'm standing in the rain making the shadow pee [Cm] appearance
They say, who's that shadow sneaking up behind the [F] pier?
He was rushed and he was rattled, now he's finally in the [Bb] clear
A refugee from the right way [Gm] With his white tuxedo and sad face
[Cm] A music group that your dad [F] plays Sing his songs in the autumn [Bb] days
He's a luthier in the Granite State [Gm] Now he doesn't even write, he just whips
[Eb] And the cover of his [F] column with pink [Bb] slips
