Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

This is the general riff for the verse:

He varies it a bit throughout the song, sometimes he just plays a

normal C chord without the variation. Listen to the song to get a bit of a feeling of it.

You can of course just strum the basic chords if you want.

LYRICS

Intro

 Children, Broadripple is burning

 And the girls are gettin' sick

 Of huffin' glue up in the bathroom

 While your boyfriends pick up chicks

 And darling I'm lost

 I heard you whispering that night in fountain square

 The trash filled streets made me wish we were heading home.

 And there was love inside the basement

 Where that woman used to lie

 In a sleeping bag we shared

 Upon the floor almost every night

 And darling I'm drunk

 everything that I have loved is turned to stone

 So pack your bag and come back home.

 And I'm wasted

 You can taste it

  [G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

 'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

  [G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.

 If my woman was a fire

 She'd burn out before I wake

 And be replaced by pints of whiskey

 Cigarettes, and outer space

 If somebody moves

 everything you thought you had will go to shit

 We've got a lot, don't ever forget that.

 And I wrote this on an airplane

 Where the people looked like eggs

 And when a woman that you loved was gone

 She was bombing east Japan

 And don't fucking move

 'cause everything you thought you have will go to shit

 We've got a lot, don't you dare to forget that.

 And I'm wasted

 You can taste it

  [G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

 'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

  [G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.

 And I'm wasted

 You can taste it.

  [G/f#]

Don't look at me that way

 'cause I'll be hanging from a rope

  [G/f#]

I will haunt you like a ghost.
