Standard (EADGBE)

There ain't no summer and there ain't no spring

The skies ain't blue and the grass ain't green

The birds don't sing and fly around

Even they can't seem to get off the ground

My front doorbell never rings

I never go outside for anything

At every little house in town

The window shades are all pulled down

And the mailman never ever comes around

Here in Torture Town

That is where I can be found

In Torture Town

Don't you come around

If you got happiness in your life

Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town

There's a little town bar - there ain't no stores

And they'll deliver a case to my front porch

They don't charge me a dime

Cause I play guitar for them sometimes

As 1-2-3-4 shots kick in

My euphoria begins

That's me inside that liquor glass

Cold as ice and drowning fast

And I'm daring anyone to pour me out

Here in Torture Town

That is where I can be found

In Torture Town

Don't you come around

If you got happiness in your life

Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town

If life gave me a second chance

I guess I'd change a lot

I'd make myself a better man

Aw hell, maybe not

The ghosts that live here find it hard

To scare my ass away

I'm scarier than they are, so

I might as well stay

Here in Torture Town

That is where I will be found

In Torture Town

Don't you come around

If you got happiness in your life

Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town
