I sat next to a man on a park bench next to a hotdog stand he said,
                   G5
catch the dragon?s tail if you can. it?s a rush man!
C5                                                                G5
it?s a bad plan but if you get your fix maybe the fifth or sixth time

it?s a life it?s a lie.
       C5
I said I?m through with coke he said you want some dope?
                              G5
I choked and said I meant the drink man, what did you think man?
C5
and we sat on your front steps I killed a bug with a cigarette
        G5
and you told about your first hit and I felt bad, I felt bad.
       C5
I said this one needs a chorus, maybe a sludgy number with some minor chords
              G5                                                        C5  G5
that they can tap their toes to, and not get bored because it rhymes.
        C5
then I gave this ring to you in hopes that we?d stay gold till we grow old
G5
abby lee come away with me.
         C5
lets get lost and maybe be happy someday have a house
     G5
with trees on a lane so shady I know it?s sappy
          C5
and I got up and went for a walk got down the block
                            G5
got stung by a wasp she was mid-fifties
                                                      C5   G5
white anglo-saxon square they?re not going anywhere.
           C5
got into a fist and cuff with my boss. I lost. he was pretty tough
                         G5
so I left and dropped my smoke. felt like a joke, felt like a joke
      C5
and I stumbled down my street on two broken feet past the bank
                                     G5
who I forgot to thank for their correspondence found out I was broke.
        C5
in fact worst then broke they can pinch and poke and push the yoke
                          G5
while the rich man laughs oh what a gas oh what a funny fucked up joke
      C5
and I passed a black man with a blank stare we share the same air doesn?t

seem fair
                                                                                      G5

G5                                                        C5
call the cops, call the cops while people just want jobs where they don?t

get robbed
