[Gm]
[D]
[B] [Bm]
[A] [D]
[G] I went to the palm [F#m] as the NASA to read.
[G] No hard line, no [D] sun line, no lifeline, no need.
[Bm] Said all that I wanted was a quiet [D] life.
Not one predetermined by meniscus [G] size.
Each of us had a different life.
My [D] flesh in me [Bm] brought you [G] grief.
One look in [D] my sad eyes, you had to concede.
Baby, the girdle of Venus got me, got me down [G] on my knees.
[D]
Baby, baby I got the death rat toll.
You're six months [A] old, she's [G] taking me.
[Bm]
[D] [Bm] Trace my right index finger along the roof of every car.
[Dm] I'd walk back to your house in a toad from a city [D] arm.
In the frost I'd put in for every girl that wanted to [G] fuck me.
Well, it's [D] early the next morning, see the frost had bitten me.
[Bm] My blisters black and tough, cold.
I need you stuffed, [D] toy bears, nosey.
Find a gift I'd [A] give you, a less committed [G] vanguard.
You, you are [Bm] an angel, that's why [G] you pray.
[D] And I am an ashen, that's why I pray.
I hear the slips of rain, you look like a frozen earth to a window.
I see blood spilling, pure snow, [A] you see sweet souls from ice cream [G] cones.
And you, you [Bm] are an angel, that's why you [D] pray.
And I am an ashen, that's why I pray.
If [E] you were [D] tomorrow, I'll be today.
And this is the end.
Baby, I got the death rat toll.
[Bm] Baby, I got it bad.
[D] I've been digging my grave for quite some time.
[Bm] When I'm not digging up the past.
And I [D] shoot my own necktie [Bm] from the metal frame of my bed.
Oh, where I tied [D] your wrist together.
[Bm] Spent all night kissing, oh, you get the message [D] done.
NOTHINGSThere's life We'll have more
[Bm] Cause it's where [D] I want to be born.
NOTHINGSThere's life We'll have more
Cause it's where [G] I want to be born.
[D] NOTHINGSThere's life We'll have more
[Bm]
Cause it's where [D]
[A]
I [D] want to be born.
[Bm] I won't be [G] bored, [D] I ain't gonna stop.
Gonna [Gm] [G]

[D] stop.
Won't be bored.
