Intro
F#m E D E (x4) Listen for the palm mutes
F#m A E F#m A E
I cut my teeth on the stone of a teenage romance
F#m A E F#m A E
I was the salt of the earth, I was hard, and the last of the independents
D E F#m
And the breath from my chest I was blowing kerosene
D E F#m
My lips and fingertips were stone, I wore my heart on my jeans
D E F#m
I sang the blues like the dogs left too long in the street
D E F#m
I still sing the blues with the dogs
A E F#m
And I got half a mind to let it all burn up in this fire
A E F#m
That's been burning through my veins since I first learned to cry
A E F#m
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
D E
I never felt right and never fit in
( F#m E D E ) x4 same as intro
Walking in my own skin
F#m A E F#m A E
Now I got scars like the number of stars, my mind's full of vipers
F#m A E F#m A E
I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers
D E F#m
Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth
D E F#m
It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist
D E F#m
I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth
D E F#m
Over and over without relief
A E F#m
And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell
A E F#m
About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell
A E F#m
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again
D E
I never felt right and never fit in
A E F#m
Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart
A E F#m
I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark
A E F#m
I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night
D E
Say a prayer for my soul, Se?orita
F#m E D
Because I've been dying out here in the cold and the snow
F#m E D
I've got a picture of you, Mama, to remind me of home
F#m E D
On the hood of a Dodge on a Saturday night
D E
Say a prayer for my soul, Se?orita
