I guess I'll never grow a sideburn, it's a shame with all I got to go between.
I hope somebody's caused it, soon it's getting hard to find a place the root can sink.
[Bb] Mama said [F] a lot of things, and to be thankful was the one she never minded saying twice.
Thanks to her I can think clear enough to be thankful that she died before tonight.
Baby, every [Gm] bone in my body's gonna jump [Bb] and like they're gonna come through [F] my skin.
If they could get along without [Bb] the rest of me, it wouldn't matter [C] if they did.
[F]
Skeletons ain't got no [G] way to stick their money, [Bb] nobody makes riches [F] that size.
And besides, you're a ghost [Bb] to most before they notice [C] that you ever had a hair or a [Bb] hide.

[Bb] Everybody [F] takes a man on a mission with a swagger that can set the world at [Dm] ease.
[Bb] Some believe it's God's [F] own hand on the trigger and the other dumping water [Dm] in the streets.
[Bb] Talking's not so easy [F] when it's other people's evil and you're judging what they do or don't believe.
[Bb] Seems to me you'd [F] have to have a hole in your own to point a finger [Dm] at somebody else's sheet.

How [Gm] [Dm] much [Am] good it does a man to keep [Dm] on telling him how good it is to scream?
[Eb] Free to [Bb] wash his guts down the drain, free [F] to live to tell him there's no such a thing.
