Standard (EADGBE)

 There ain't no summer and there ain't no spring

 The skies ain't blue and the grass ain't green

 The birds don't sing and fly around

 Even they can't seem to get off the ground

My front doorbell never rings

 I never go outside for anything

 At every little house in town

 The window shades are all pulled down

 And the mailman never ever comes around

 Here in Torture Town

 That is where I can be found

 In Torture Town

Don't you come around

 If you got happiness in your life

 Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town

 There's a little town bar - there ain't no stores

 And they'll deliver a case to my front porch

 They don't charge me a dime

 Cause I play guitar for them sometimes

 As 1-2-3-4 shots kick in

My euphoria begins

 That's me inside that liquor glass

Cold as ice and drowning fast

 And I'm daring anyone to pour me out

 Here in Torture Town

 That is where I can be found

 In Torture Town

Don't you come around

 If you got happiness in your life

 Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town

 If life gave me a second chance

 I guess I'd change a lot

 I'd make myself a better man

 Aw hell, maybe not

 The ghosts that live here find it hard

 To scare my ass away

 I'm scarier than they are, so

 I might as well stay

 Here in Torture Town

 That is where I will be found

 In Torture Town

Don't you come around

 If you got happiness in your life

 Then you best

Stay away

From Torture Town
