Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

This is the general riff for the verse:

He varies it a bit throughout the song, sometimes he just plays a

normal C chord without the variation. Listen to the song to get a bit of a feeling of it.

You can of course just strum the basic chords if you want.

LYRICS

Intro

Children, Broadripple is burning

And the girls are gettin' sick

Of huffin' glue up in the bathroom

While your boyfriends pick up chicks

And darling I'm lost

I heard you whispering that night in fountain square

The trash filled streets made me wish we were heading home.

And there was love inside the basement

Where that woman used to lie

In a sleeping bag we shared

Upon the floor almost every night

And darling I'm drunk

everything that I have loved is turned to stone

So pack your bag and come back home.

And I'm wasted

You can taste it

[G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

[G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.

If my woman was a fire

She'd burn out before I wake

And be replaced by pints of whiskey

Cigarettes, and outer space

If somebody moves

everything you thought you had will go to shit

We've got a lot, don't ever forget that.

And I wrote this on an airplane

Where the people looked like eggs

And when a woman that you loved was gone

She was bombing east Japan

And don't fucking move

'cause everything you thought you have will go to shit

We've got a lot, don't you dare to forget that.

And I'm wasted

You can taste it

[G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

[G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.

And I'm wasted

You can taste it.

[G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

[G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.
