I prefer it in G instead of C. Give it a try!



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

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

Verse 2:

New slang when you notice the stripes
The dirt in your fries
Hope it's right when you die
Old and bo..ny
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
Never should'a called
But my heads to the wall
And I'm lonely

Chorus

Verse 3:

God speed all the baker's at dawn
May they all cut their thumbs
And bleed into their buns 
'Till they melt away

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