DIRT AND DEAD ENDS (Amy Ray)

No Capo

                     GYou're (320003@1)looking at foreclosure
           DAnd (xx0232@1)doing time
                    CAnd (x32010@1)it don't sound good this time
                 G (320003@1)         DThey (xx0232@1)found the meth and the scale,
          CAnd (x32010@1)the wife that made your life Hell

G (320003@1)       B (x2444x@1)                 EmAll (022000@1)the time you were telling me
          CYou (x32010@1)were fine
G (320003@1)D (xx0232@1) CSilly (x32010@1)man

               GSo (320003@1)I got your dog.
         DHow (xx0232@1)is that?
           CI (x32010@1)made it nice, I wrote a check.
             G (320003@1)              DYou (xx0232@1)cut the weeds back on my drive
                     CCause (x32010@1)you're a good guy deep down inside.
              G (320003@1)            DWhat (xx0232@1)makes a boy like you go bad,
              CWhat (x32010@1)makes a man so lonely and sad,
             G (320003@1)          DThat (xx0232@1)he'd poison all he knows
            CAnd (x32010@1)in one year, just let it go?

G (320003@1)           B (x2444x@1)                  EmAnd (022000@1)all that time you were telling me
          CYou (x32010@1)were fine
G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)       CSilly (x32010@1)man, silly boy

                   G (320003@1)           DIt's (xx0232@1)been you and me on this frontier
                    CTrying (x32010@1)not to be suburban pioneers.
                    GFighting (320003@1)off the pavers
             DAnd (xx0232@1)the associations
            CAnd (x32010@1)the covenants against the trailers.

            G (320003@1)             DI (xx0232@1)remember how we used to laugh
                      CAt (x32010@1)all those rotten men in "camo" drag
                G (320003@1)             DWith (xx0232@1)their advantage and their guns
              CUp (x32010@1)the deer stand shooting up a storm

G (320003@1)         BAnd (x2444x@1)all the time
                  Em (022000@1)         CYou (x32010@1)were telling me all those lies
G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)               CSilly (x32010@1)man, I'm just a silly girl

             GThere (320003@1)was a time
                          DWe (xx0232@1)could hibernate like bears
           CBut (x32010@1)we finally come up for air
        G (320003@1)                       DAnd (xx0232@1)everything's all marked and cleared,
                 CSurvey (x32010@1)flags flying everywhere.

                  GOnce (320003@1)you said to me
                             DYou (xx0232@1)know, what I'll miss the most
         CIs (x32010@1)just being the only ones
           G (320003@1)               DWith (xx0232@1)our dirt and our dead ends
        CAnd (x32010@1)no one to turn us in.

Enjoy!
