eddie boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house
Am
burns on his brain like chernobyl

dean was seen with a two bag purchase he was lying dead on his mother’s bed
Am
someone to pray for – till i met you

Dm
life is like a broken arrow
F
memory a swingin’ door
Dm
i could be your great misfortune
F C
i can make you happy every day of your life

C Am F C
making my love like a shining star
Am F C
taking my love just a touch too far

tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice cause love left holes
and four swell kids breaking her heart
i’ve got windows , i’ve seen much vice , i’ve touched down with vermin ,
cowardice , lice ,
and i say

nobody cares what you do
please be yourself to death
i could be your great misfortune
but you’ll never find A
bet you’ll never find a better man .

C Am F C
making my love like a shining star
Am F C
taking my love just a touch too far

peter met frank formed a dummy run gang
worked heist or hit for 10 g’s flat
blew heads outta shape for the name of trotsky ,
sinn – fein , hitler cashdown
no hope heroes cover this page with depts in hell
and fingers in blood
poor little bodies all covered in scabs
threw it all away

have a life in the grave
have a life in the grave

life is like a broken arrow
memory a swingin’ door
i could be your great misfortune
well i could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life
