Intro: G 
 
G                    C 
Young girl give me a good luck charm 
      Em                     C 
Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm 
    G                      C 
Got one good leg cause the other went south 
      Em                     C               G 
Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth 
      G                              C 
Got a sheriff?s name branded where I shoulda kept clean 
       Em                         C 
If you get too close you?re gonna know what I mean 
      G                           C 
And I know when I?m owed the only runnin gonna come 
 Em                       C                 G 
Away from my lips and the fork of my tongue 
 
        D             C 
It only gets to me in times like these 
    Em                   C             G 
And times like these are getting to me 
 
         G                          C 
Put your hand in the oven there?s a heaven inside 
       Em                             C 
And it burns straight through but the Devil don?t mind 
         G                          C 
Cause he takes what he wants and he finds what you hide 
          Em                     C                G 
And it?ll buy you a place on the lower east side, child 
             G                       C 
I rolled the number last night and I walked in my sleep 
            Em                         C 
And I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth 
        G                        C 
As they crumbled in the dust and washed into the sea 
          Em                       C                  G 
I finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think, sing 
        D             C 
It only gets to me in times like these 
        D             C 
It only gets to me in times like these 
        D             C 
It only gets to me in times like these 
    Em                   C             G 
And times like these are getting to me
