Oh, [C] teeth and the curse [F] of this town [C] were all in [G] my mouth.
[C] Only I don't [F] know how [A] they got [G] out, dear.
[Am] Turned me [C] back into [F] the past.
[C] She wore [G] my head.
[C] I was [F] happier then [Am] with no [G] mindset.
If you talk [C] to me like [F] a [Am] girl takes [G] the wind.
Well, I'd have jumped [C] from my tree [F] and I [C] would have danced like the king of [C] the isle.
For the rest of our lives we would [G] have fared well.
[Am] You were slain when [C] you noticed the [F] stripes.
[C] And the dirt in your [G] cries.
Hope [C] is right when [F] you die.
Hold [Am] and [G] bone you.
[Am] Don't break, so [C] I could blow through [F] the hall.
[C] Never should have [G] called.
But [C] my head's to the wall [Am] and I [G] love you.
And if you talk [C] to me like [F] a [C] girl takes the [G] wind.

[Am] Godspeed all the [F] bakers and dons.

[C] And bleed into their buns [Am] till they [G] melt away.
Cause I'm looking in on [C] the good life [F] I might be [C] doomed ever to [G] find.
Without a trust he ain't like [F] well.
[C] I'd have danced [F] like the queen [C] of the isle.
[F] For the rest of [C] our lives we [G] would have fared well.
