Verse 1

Look what you started

I seem to be coming out of my skin

Look what you've forgotten here

The bandages just don't keep me in

And when it was over I woke up alone

And when it was over I woke up alone

Chorus 1

And they cut me to ribbons

and told me to drive

I got your name tattooed

inside of my arm

I called for my father

but my father had died

While you told me fortunes

in American Slang

(Repeat Intro once)

Verse 2

And look at the damage

The fortunes came

for the richer men

While we were left

with gallows

Just waiting for us liars

to come down and hang

And when it was over

I woke up alone

And when it was over

I woke up alone

Chorus 2

And they cut me to ribbons

and told me to drive

I got your name tattooed

inside of my arm

I called for my father

but my father had died

While you told me fortunes

G C--

in American Slang

Bridge

And here's where we died

that time last year

And where the angels

and devils meet

And you can dance with

the queen if you need

And she will always keep your

cards close to her heart

Oh so close to her heart

before they tear you apart

Chorus 3

And they cut me to ribbons

and told me to drive

I got your name tattooed

inside of my arm

I called for my father

but my father had died

And we called for our fathers

but our fathers had died

While you told me fortunes

in American Slang

While you told me fortunes
