[Fm] [Eb]
[Gm] [Cm] [Ab] [G]
[Fm] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Fm] His father was a [Eb] [Ab] drinker, and his mother cried in bed
[Fm] [Bb] Folding John Wayne's t [Eb]-shirts when [Ab] the swing set hit his head
[Bb] The neighbors, they adored him [Cm] for his humor [Ab] and his conversation
[Fm] Look underneath [Ab] the [Eb] house there, [Cm] find the few living things
Riding [Ab] fast in their sleep, [Fm] oh the deadhead Twenty-seven [Eb] people, [Cm] even more
They were boys with [Ab] their cars, summer jobs, [Gm] oh my [Fm] god
[Eb]
[Ab] [D] [Ab] [Fm]
He dressed up like [Eb] a clown for them, with [Cm] his face paint white [Ab] and red
[G]
[Fm] On his [Ab] best [Eb] behavior, in [Ab] a dark room on the bed
He kissed [Fm] them all
He'd kill ten thousand people [Eb] [Ab] with the slight of his hand
Running far, running fast to [Fm] the death He took off all [Eb] their clothes for them
He put [Cm] a cloth on their lips, quiet [Ab] hands, quiet kiss on the mouth
[Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Fm] And in [Bb] my best behavior, [Eb] I [Cm] am really just [Ab] like him
[Fm] Look [Eb] beneath the [Bb] floorboards for [Cm] the secrets I [Ab] have hid
[Fm] [F] [Fm]
[N]
