F                 C 
Well here lie the remains 
   E               F 
Of every girl I've loved 
F                            C 
The princesses of heaven and hell 
E                        F 
Who thought they knew me well 
F                 C 
There goes my wishbone 
E                   F 
It calms my crooked friend 
F                       C 
Screaming he knew I was dead 
E                       
True right down to the end 


A                      G                D 
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury 
A                             G    D 
You could tell I was a wicked man 
A                  
Well there was no one on the wall 
G                      D 
But the stupid and the small 
A                                G   D 
But they always do the best they can

F                     C 
Well here lies mother Brown 
E                    F 
She always looked so young 
F                       C 
I was never too easy to please 
E            F 
Always on my knees 
F                       C 
Well there goes my last hope 
E                    F 
Here comes my bullet train 
F                       C 
Shooting the hole in my head 
E 
On the wrong right side of my brain 


A              
I was getting ready 
      G              D 
I was shaking, I was steady 
A                           G    D  
I was pleading to be left alive 
A 
Well I was digging for the gold 
     G             D 
Just waiting to be told 
A                               G      D 
That my cheating heart would survive 


A                      G                D 
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury 
A                             G    D 
You could tell I was a wicked man 
A                  
Well there was no one on the wall 
          G             D 
But the stupid and the small 
A                                G   D 
But they always do the best they can

F                   C        E           F 
Well here lie the remains of saving lady death 
F                            C 
Her old man streamed up in a hole 
E              F 
Another uneven soul 
F                  C 
There goes my last wish 
     E            F 
Here comes my audience 
F                      C 
Pitchforks pointing my way 
    E              
And it's no coincidence 


A                      G            D 
I was in a bind of the body and the mind 
A                             G     D 
And my mother was the last to know 
A 
When I told her I was runnin' 
      G            D 
I was better off a'gone 
A                           G       D          
And she never even said no, no, no, no, no 


A                         G             D 
I was never thick but the fall wouldn't click 
A                         G     D 
So I never had the best excuse 
A  
You couldn't say that I was best 
        G             D 
So they put me to the test 
A                         G     D 
With a never ending soul abuse 


A                      G                D 
I was in a fury with a judge and with a jury 
A                             G    D 
You could tell I was a wicked man 
A                  
Well there was no one on the wall 
          G             D 
But the stupid and the small 
A                                G   D 
But they always do the best they can 


A              
I was getting ready 
      G              D 
I was shaking, I was steady 
A                           G    D  
I was pleading to be left alive 
A 
Well I was digging for the gold 
     G             D 
Just waiting to be told 
A                               G      D 
That my cheating heart would survive
