[D]
Back up 45 feet, always looking for a free bed.
Why don't you let some time pass?
Hiding with his axe, me with this dead sheep arm.
Trying to step a look, it's too soon.
Soul's on the ground, I pull out the switch.
[E] [F#] Looks like [A#] he [C] got me, but this guy [F#] gave me props
to a [E] horse in a [C] concrete [Em] pasture.
[E] He's [F#] so tired he [A#] wouldn't [C] buy a pair of [Em] shorts or a heat.
[F#] Just look at [A#] him and [C] make that buy him.
[E] All [A#] of the time [C]
strollers go by.
He's spending [E] just [F#] his day in ketchup [A#] on a dark [C] tooth.
[E] Tighten his wig, [D] hold it down [A#m] and knock him out [C] with a new light [E] set.
[F#] [A#]
[C] [D] Ain't nothing to [C#m] it, just hear.

[A] Ain't nothing, [C#m] ain't nothing to it, just hear.
[D] I
[E] [F#] saw [A#] that [C] dinner up the street.
There's [E] a [F#] phone on the drink [A#] and the [C] sharks are [E] dropping the shucks.
[F#] The [A#] yellow kid trying [C] to tighten her,
[E] [F#] leaving the poor ass [A#] all around [C] her.
[A#] I miss her, I [C] belong up on that.
She's got [E] some time that [F#] she will and she [A#] [C] won't.
[E] [F#] She do and she [A#] don't, [C] always on the [E] fence.
She sleeps [F#] with her glasses [Gm] [C] on.
[A] Man, [Bm]
[D#] [G#] man.
[D#] Ain't [Fm] nothing, [C#m] ain't nothing to it, just hear.

She's flowers for me so skip it, I forget it.
