"Short Fuse" - Black Lips

Em                  D
Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
A                        Asus4
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Em                   D
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.

Don't try to play you might get hurt.

The violence in Europe is oozing
Just like the pus from a broken scab
Got made a man from nights of boozing
Gonna be just like my dad.

F#m      E                  D
Hey! Mr. Postman what's the news today?
F#m                E            D
Can you tell me if everything's gonna be OK?
   F#m           E             D
My eyes are wide open, and the drapes have been drawn.
   F#m      E                D
My heart is smokin', blowin' up like an atom bomb.

Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.

The dogs are gone and I can't get work,
The sun shines down like a40 Watt bulb.
I told my mom and she went berserk.
I should have done what I'd been told.

Hey, Humpty Dumpy, I guess you learned your lesson.
You got made into breakfast by some fat old Texan.
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't find a reason, and pushed Humpty to his end. 

Don't light me up I got a short fuse.
Don't put me down I just love the dirt.
Don't tie me up 'cos I'll just get loose.
Don't try to play you might get hurt.
