E (riff)
Blistered cracked and bleeding
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow

Lingering suspicions
Screaming out my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
All welcome home again

Am                              C
It's too late for apologies and falling at my feet

E                                     A
This is just the way of the world Joe said
                B               E
I had to put a bullet into his head
                  A
Then lit up a cigarette
            Ab                  E
Decided to call his best friend Fred
                                   A
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
            B                    E
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
                       A              Ab               B             
Now they're both dead, used to be so cold when they're dead

E (riff)
Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end

Am                              C
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet

E ....
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his best friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
