Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

she homed with thieves

kicked up dirty leaves

she was a maniac

no one's heart attack

she got around

slept on the bad side of town

she was cooler than you

way cooler than me

she was true, all blinded and bruised

she didn't give a fuck

no he had given up

she was alive

she was caught on fire

she was everything

she was all of this

she opened up and laid it all right there

she said, "no i don't mind

no, no i don't care

i'll help you shovel out my shallow hole

and i know i know they're threatening

but at least we're not the ones carrying

such heavy heavy heavy stoning stones

and yeah i know they'll get you down

they'll do you in and they'll drag it out

'cause me and you, we are one of a kind

she liked to lose

never wore sunday shoes

she found his luck in wells and corner stores and jails

she was crazy

a downtown kind of baby

always dangerous, she got me down on my knees

she made it rain

she called the wind and then it came

oh with the wave of his hand

she brought the sunshine right in

she was the sky

beyond steeple and the choir

oh, the preacher's amen

his hallelujah child

she opened up and laid it all right there

she said, "no i don't mind

no, no i don't care

i'll help you shovel out my shallow hole

and i know i know they're threatening

but at least we're not the ones carrying

such heavy heavy heavy stoning stones

so when your bones are broke and you're all alone

and the fog's so thick you can't see up close

just know that i will end up strangled too

and when the floods they come all rushing in

and the boat is full and you can't get in

oh, it's okay if you don't want to swim

and when you're swallowed up, oh, don't you cry

just give right in, don't try to fight

'cause baby i wouldn't pay no mind

there's nothing you can do

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

she sang the blues

out of time and out of tune

spoke no silver spoon

only simple truths

she was a friend, stabbed backs and broke plans

she would give you her coat

or put nails through her hand

she was wise, full of magic and life

oh you could see it in his eyes

oh yeah i saw it in his eyes

she was more than this

oh way more than this

she was everything

she was all of this
