Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

You got a sense of humor your own misery

I heard a rumor you're making history

Photographic dialog beneath your skin

Twenty graphic episodes and sceaming sin.

Real live bleeding fingers,

and broken guitar strings.

You were my prince charming draped in velvet robes

Of all that's alarming and raw and exposed

Shattered nerves itchy skin

Dirty words and heroin

Real live bleeding fingers

And broken guitar strings

I climbed all the way inside your tragedy

I got behind the majesty

Of the different shapes in every note

The endless tapes of every word you wrote

Real live bleeding fingers

And broken guitar strings
