INTRO: D5  G5 
 
D5                               D5 D5 
Shandy was somebody's daughter 
G5                    D5 
Driving to something insane 
A5                    
They busted her crossin the border 
G5                   D5 
Swift as a sniff of cocaine 
 
 
D5                               D5 D5 
All she could pay was attention 
    G5                           D5 
So all they could take was her time 
A5                 
Proving an ounce of possession 
G5                            D5 
Ain't worth a piece of your mind 
 

        G5              D5         G5   D5 
'Cause nightmares are somebody's daydreams 
G5               A5         D5 
Daydreams are somebody's lies 
G5               D5           G5         D5 
Lies ain't no harder than telling the truth 
G5             D5         A5 G5 D5 
Truth is the perfect disguise  
 
Locked in the gold-handled bathroom 
Martin was chaning his mind 
Shedding his humble pretentions 
One careful toke at a time 
And wiping the mask off the man in the mirror 
Who really was Billy the Kid 
Smilin at somebody dyin 
For something that he never did 
 
CHORUS 
 
Soon as he sat down beside her 
Shining like Saturday night 
Shandy was his for the savin 
Sweet as she looked in the light 
And maybe they moved from the bar to the bedroom 
Maybe just stood there instead 
Martin woke up and screamin 
Dreamin of blood on the bed 
 
CHORUS
