CEddie (x32010@1)boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house
                        AmBurns (x02210@1)on his brain like Chernobyl
CDean (x32010@1)was seen with a two bag purchase he was lying dead on his mother's bed
                Am (x02210@1)Someone to pray for-till I met you

DmLife (xx0231@1)is like a broken arrow
Fmemory (133211@1)a swingin' door
DmI (xx0231@1)could be your great misfortune
F (133211@1)                                       CI (x32010@1)can make you happy every day of your life

          Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)                   CTaking (x32010@1)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 (x32010@1)         Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)                  C (x32010@1) Making my love   like a shining star
          Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)                   CTaking (x32010@1)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
