Basically we are all alone in the center of a pickaxe mine.
[E] Black love stings as the pickaxe swings and the void of the mind closes in.
The devil came and the angels sang the song [Em] of the holy ghost.
[E] He dipped his soul from the vanish to the cold like the dust [Em] I spit from my mouth.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[E] Remember the night where the barrooms fight?
where I killed [Em] all of my best friends.
[E] Dumbled it away with a whiskey open can,

Flatter [Em] She.
She gave me [E] way
