[G] [Bb]
It's my father's voice drilling off, sailor sailing off in the morning.
For the air-conditioned rooms at the top of the stairs.
He's just been broken, his bandage is wrapped too tight.
These fangs have been pulled and I really want to see you tonight.
There's bourbon on the breath of the singer you love so much.
He takes all his words from the books that you don't read anyway.
He's just been broken, his bandage [Eb] is wrapped too [Bb] tight.
These fangs have [F] been pulled [Bb] and I really want to see you tonight.
Someone has a phone [Eb] in my backyard to show me love.
[Bb] My voice is climbing walls, [Eb]
smoking what I want [F] to [Gm] love.
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] I've just been broken, [Gm] my heart is wrapped in ice.
My fangs have been pulled and I really want to see you tonight.
[Bb] And it makes [F] no difference [Gm] to me [Bb] [Eb] how they cry all over [Bb]
overseas.
[C] [Eb] When it's hot [Ebm] in the poor [Bb] places [Db] tonight, [Bb] [Gb] [Eb] I'm not going [Bb] outside.

[Gb] But it's hot [Ab] in the poor places [Bb] tonight, [Gb] and I'm not [Ab] going [Bb] outside.
[Gb] [Ab] [Bb]
[Gb] It's hot in [Ab] the poor places [Bb]
