The Rabbit, the Bat, and the Reindeer

Capo 1st fret
                                      
A                                     D(open)  E
Well, I don't want a thing to do with your     kind
    A                              D    C#m7 (x46454)
And I ain't got no time to kill on your dime
F#m                     Riff 1
Strung up, hanging 'round
Bm                            Riff 2
Looking like you're upside down 

Well, I ain't wanting to shed no blood, that's your crime
And I ain't wanting to sling no mud, I clean it up
You ain't what I'd call a friend Riff 1
I wouldn't even if I could pretend Riff 2

A        A/G#       A/F# A/E   D     E   A
Man, you ain't like any  body  e - l---se 
 
   A
As night becomes the sun to rise 
   D
As dirt becomes the butterflies 
   A                 A/G#            D        E
As sure as though it always seems to stay the same
    A 
And I'll be waiting anxiously
    D 
And I'll be falling fast asleep 
    A                A/G#           D     E
And I'll be dreaming of the day the dream died 
      A
Uh huh 

No sticks, no stones could break my bones like you can
If I knew hate, I'd call it love for you, man
High up on the hill, cheaper than a dollar bill 
Man, you ain't like any body else 
 
          A                     D
Should we pretend that it's the end? 
           A                   D
Are you my curse or are you my friend?
              A                         D
And if we got hitched to the end of the road
            A                 D 
Will you be there to carry my load?

               A
I'm getting it back with that terrible feeling 
             D
My vision is cracked, but it looks like it's healing 
               A
I'm getting it back like it's four in the morning 
                  D
When the sun only shines like you've been giving no warning 
               A
I'm getting it back with the rest of the leap year
                Bm 
I'm keeping the rabbit, the bat, and the reindeer 
               C#m
I'm getting it out, whatever I've gotta keep in 
                D         
I'm telling the truth, and it don't when we pretend 
                  
Should we pretend?   A     D 
                    
Should we pretend?   A     D
                   
Should we pretend?   A     D
