Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro – / / / /

 The day you left and you called me bitch

 I called you selfish - Better pull that switch

Put my son on amphetamines

 He came home cryin’ and there’s your proof

 Crying ‘bout nothing but missing tooth

I did the right thing

 You shade the truth almost every day

 Phone calls at night, “It’s gonna be OK”

 Are you signing, baby,

Under the bridge?

 Are you signing, baby,

On Lake Street?

Black marker on cardboard

 Little drawing of a medicine wheel

 Well, everything that’s given you steal

 Everything that’s given, you steal

Maybe you’ll wake up in jail alone

And hold the handle of the one pay phone

And do the right thing

 Like I once tried though I bent the truth

 A five dollar debt for a little lost tooth

There’s a payback in front of me

 ‘Cause once you were like a walking heart,

 Breaking in motion through the parking lot

Chorus

[SOLO – use the same progression as the verse]

Words of encouragement are just as real

Same effect as a smooth blue pill

Chorus

 Everything that’s given you steal

 Everything that’s given you steal

 From me.
