A5               C5                         F5
Gold teeth and a curse for this town 
C5                    G5                                
Were all in my mouth
     C5                     F5                   A5   G5
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
A5                  C5         F5
Turn me back into the pet 
C5                    G5
I was when we met
C5                   F5                     A5   G5
I was happier then with no mind set

Chorus:
G5                      C5
And if you'd a took to me like
  F5      C5                   G5
A gull takes to the wind
                             C5
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F5                     C5          F5                 C5
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F5                            C5                  G5
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Verse 2:
A5                 C5                        F5
New slang when you notice the stripes
C5                       G5
The dirt in your fries
     C5                               F5
Hope it's right when you die
A5      G5
Old and bony
A5                 C5                               F5
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
          C5            G5
Never should'a called
    C5                         F5
But my heads to the wall
        A5  G5
And I'm lonely

Chorus

Verse 3:
A5                C5                     F5
God speed all the baker's at dawn
                   C5            G5
May they all cut their thumbs
    C5                         F5
And bleed into their buns 
           A5   G5
'Till they melt away

Chorus 2:
G5                     C5    
I'm looking in on the good life
           F5               C5              G5
I might be doomed never to find
                           C5
Without a trust or flaming fields 
         F5       C5          G5
Am I too dumb to refine?
                                  C5
And if you'd a took to me like 
     F5                     C5        F5                    C5
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores 
F5                              C5                  G5
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
