Verse 1:
Am x2            C              F x2
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
C              G x2
Were all in my mouth
     C            F x2         Am   G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am x2          C      F x2
Turn me back into the pet
C             G x2
I was when we met
C             F x2         Am   G
I was happier then with no mind set

Chorus:
G x2                   C x2
And if you'd a took to me like
  F    C            G x2
A gull takes to the wind
            G x2        C
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F     C               F           C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F                   C             G x4
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Verse 2:
Am x2              C          F x2
New slang when you notice the stripes
C                G x2
The dirt in your fries
     C                   F x2
Hope it's right when you die
        Am  G
Old and booony
Am x2              C                F x2
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
C              G x2
Never should'a called
    C               F x2
But my heads to the wall
        Am  G
And I'm lonely

Chorus:
G x2                   C x2
And if you'd a took to me like
  F    C            G x2
A gull takes to the wind
            G x2        C
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F     C               F           C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F                   C             G x4
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Verse 3:
Am x2             C          F x2
God speed all the baker's at dawn
             C         G x2
May they all cut their thumbs
    C                F
And bleed into their buns
           Am   G x3
'Till they melt away

Chorus 2:
G x2                  C x2
I'm looking in on the good life
           F               G
I might be doomed never to find
                           C
Without a trust or flaming fields
         F       G x2
Am I too dumb to refine?
                       C
And if you'd a took to me like
     F     C               F            C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F                   C             G x4
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
