Standard (EADGBE)

::Verse #1::

 There's a lady come lately She's dancing with me in the street

 And though I know we're both faking I'm not waiting for loose ends to meet

 See she's holding me close and I don't even know her last name

 And I might hate myself in the morning but tonight it's okay

::Verse #2::

 Spent the night at this party with people that I hardly knew

 And they were talking ambition as I was listening my resentment grew

 So I mulled in the corner and drank 'till I wasn't afraid

 And I said, "I might hate myself in the morning, but you're also a waste"

::Chorus::

 See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay

 Hard lessons I learned on an October day

 And I can't shake 'em off

 I can't shake them off

::Verse #3::

::Verse #3::

 So he said with a vengeance "Hey you, why don't you keep your mouth shut"

 And I said, "What's gonna happen you fat-assed fool, so then what"

 So I followed him outside and I made sure I took the first swing

 Knowing tonight what's so god damn important doesn't really mean a thing

::Chorus::

 See, we know no blood flows in the dry desert clay

 Hard lessons I learned on an October day

 And I can't shake 'em off

 No, I can't shake 'em off

 Oh, I can't shake them off

 I can't shake them off

Oh yeah

Oh yeah
