[Eb]
I was a quick, neat boy [D]
[Bb] diving [C] too deep
For coins all of [Ab] your street light
White on [Bb] my plastic toys

Called [Eb] for you [Bb]
everywhere

Now [C] [Eb] I'm a fat house cat
[Gm] Nursing [C] my sore [Cm] blunt tongue
Watching [Ab] the warm poison rats
Curl through [Bb] the white fence cracks
