got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth .

G C
i got a sheriff’s name branded where i should have kept clean .

E C G
away from lips and the fork of my tongue .

put your hand in the oven there’s a heaven inside .

E C G
and it will buy you a place on the lower east side . child

G C
i rolled a number last night and i walked in my sleep .
E C
i could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth .

as they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea .
E C G
finally shut my mouth so i could hear myself think .

3 : 05 – 3 : 32
D C
it only gets to me in times like these .
D C
it only gets to me in times like these .
