Standard (EADGBE)

Sadness has filled a lonely place

 Before that there was just a hole

 At least now there's sadness on my face

 My lower lip has finally found its role

So the wind and the rain and the snow

Had no particular place to go

So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me

They're better friends than you could ever be

Chorus

 There's a tattoo, a small tattoo

Waiting there unpaid for you

 And if you ever bump into Unlucky

 Don't forget who broke your heart in two

 You'd better get there early, there's a million in the queue

 Just waiting for the name on their tattoo

[end Chorus]

Emptiness has filled a vacant heart

Finally found a place for it to hide

An as I wander like a fool from bar to bar

Empty has become my greatest guide

And the tears and the pain and the despise

Looked at me through bankrupt eyes

They had nowhere else that they could land

So I invited them to take my bloody hand

Chorus

 So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name

 I've been wondering night after night

 When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain

 And I hope he spells "you bastard" right

--S-T--R-, stick that needle deep in me
