Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 she homed with thieves

 kicked up dirty leaves

 she was a maniac

 no one's heart attack

she got around

slept on the bad side of town

she was cooler than you

way cooler than me

she was true, all blinded and bruised

she didn't give a fuck

no he had given up

she was alive

she was caught on fire

she was everything

she was all of this

 she opened up and laid it all right there

 she said, "no i don't mind

 no, no i don't care

 i'll help you shovel out my shallow hole

 and i know i know they're threatening

 but at least we're not the ones carrying

 such heavy heavy heavy stoning stones

 and yeah i know they'll get you down

they'll do you in and they'll drag it out

 'cause me and you, we are one of a kind

 she liked to lose

 never wore sunday shoes

 she found his luck in wells and corner stores and jails

she was crazy

a downtown kind of baby

always dangerous, she got me down on my knees

she made it rain

she called the wind and then it came

oh with the wave of his hand

she brought the sunshine right in

she was the sky

beyond steeple and the choir

oh, the preacher's amen

his hallelujah child

 she opened up and laid it all right there

 she said, "no i don't mind

 no, no i don't care

 i'll help you shovel out my shallow hole

 and i know i know they're threatening

 but at least we're not the ones carrying

 such heavy heavy heavy stoning stones

 so when your bones are broke and you're all alone

 and the fog's so thick you can't see up close

 just know that i will end up strangled too

 and when the floods they come all rushing in

 and the boat is full and you can't get in

 oh, it's okay if you don't want to swim

 and when you're swallowed up, oh, don't you cry

just give right in, don't try to fight

 'cause baby i wouldn't pay no mind

there's nothing you can do

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

they'll have you coughing up your colors

 she sang the blues

 out of time and out of tune

 spoke no silver spoon

 only simple truths

she was a friend, stabbed backs and broke plans

she would give you her coat

or put nails through her hand

she was wise, full of magic and life

oh you could see it in his eyes

oh yeah i saw it in his eyes

she was more than this

oh way more than this

she was everything

she was all of this
