(A  C  G  E) 4x

F                 C
Well here lie the remains
   E               F
Of every girl I've loved
F                            C
The princesses of heaven and hell
E                        F
Who thought they knew me well
F                 C
There goes my wishbone
E                   F
It calms my crooked friend
F                       C
Screaming he knew I was dead
E                      
True right down to the end


A                      G                D
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury
A                             G    D
You could tell I was a wicked man
A                 
Well there was no one on the wall
G                      D
But the stupid and the small
A                                G   D
But they always do the best they can

(A  C  G  E) 4x


F                     C
Well here lies mother Brown
E                    F
She always looked so young
F                       C
I was never too easy to please
E            F
Always on my knees
F                       C
Well there goes my last hope
E                    F
Here comes my bullet train
F                       C
Shooting the hole in my head
E
On the wrong right side of my brain


A             
I was getting ready
      G              D
I was shaking, I was steady
A                           G    D 
I was pleading to be left alive
A
Well I was digging for the gold
     G             D
Just waiting to be told
A                               G      D
That my cheating heart would survive


A                      G                D
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury
A                             G    D
You could tell I was a wicked man
A                 
Well there was no one on the wall
          G             D
But the stupid and the small
A                                G   D
But they always do the best they can

(A  C  G  E) 4x


F                   C        E           F
Well here lie the remains of saving lady death
F                            C
Her old man streamed up in a hole
E              F
Another uneven soul
F                  C
There goes my last wish
     E            F
Here comes my audience
F                      C
Pitchforks pointing my way
    E             
And it's no coincidence


A                      G            D
I was in a bind of the body and the mind
A                             G     D
And my mother was the last to know
A
When I told her I was runnin'
      G            D
I was better off a'gone
A                           G       D         
And she never even said no, no, no, no, no


A                         G             D
I was never thick but the fall wouldn't click
A                         G     D
So I never had the best excuse
A 
You couldn't say that I was best
        G             D
So they put me to the test
A                         G     D
With a never ending soul abuse


A                      G                D
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury
A                             G    D
You could tell I was a wicked man
A                 
Well there was no one on the wall
          G             D
But the stupid and the small
A                                G   D
But they always do the best they can


A             
I was getting ready
      G              D
I was shaking, I was steady
A                           G    D 
I was pleading to be left alive
A
Well I was digging for the gold
     G             D
Just waiting to be told
A                               G      D
That my cheating heart would survive
