Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

James incurred the wrath

of a jealous woman

Not long after that

spending all his weekends

Trying to relearn

How a young man yearns after a noose

Poor poor James

Verse 2

Most nights he has dreams

all his teeth are missing

Wakes up in a sweat

Simpleton heart racing

He throws back the sheets

Begins to weep without much feeling

Poor poor James

Bridge

Verse 3

Desire is what makes

Upright mammals human

Put me out to graze

Give this beast a burden

Because the universe

Makes much more sense without a purpose

Poor poor James
