   Bm (x24432@1)             GOnly (320003@1)thing he knew, you don't fail
    Bm (x24432@1)               GWhen (320003@1)you live in a box by the rails
    A (x02220@1)          G*                         D5Don't (xx023x@1)comb your hair, don't comb your tail

D5Sweep (xx023x@1)my mess away

D5Leave (xx023x@1)me whole and leave my soul
  G*                      BmLeave (x24432@1)me nothing, I don't need at all
   G*                 D5Nothing, (xx023x@1)I don't need at all

Transition: A   G*

He ate from the bins in the park
Stayed out with the rats after dark
Never left a trail, never made his mark
When he ate with the rats after dark

Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all

Transition

Calling on his friends, never made him sad
Didn't want the things he never had
It only made them feel so bad
For having the things he never had

Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all

Transition

Bm (x24432@1)                    GIf (320003@1)you stay in that box overnight
Bm (x24432@1)                            GAnd (320003@1)don't get out when it gets light
Bm (x24432@1)                            GThere's (320003@1)not much lost of the secret life
A (x02220@1)             G*                      BmThat's (x24432@1)done wrong and it's never done right
                GNow (320003@1)some more flowers grow
Bm (x24432@1)            GThe (320003@1)corn gets eaten by a few more crows
Bm (x24432@1)             GAnd (320003@1)an old man's box is full of bones
A (x02220@1)             G*              D5Won't (xx023x@1)see his footprints in the snow

Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all

D5Sweep (xx023x@1)my mess away
D5Leave (xx023x@1)my body, leave my bones
D5Leave (xx023x@1)me whole and leave my soul
G*                        BmLeave (x24432@1)me nothing, I don't need at all
G*                  D5Nothing, (xx023x@1)I don't need at all

The outro is kind of weird, but after the last D5, you switch to A, G*, and then 
it's pretty much the intro
over and over until you're on D5 for the last hit.
