"New Slang"
Intro (Am - C - F - C - G - C - Am - G) X4

Am		    C		    F	   C		   G
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth. 
       C		      F		    Am    G
Only, I don't know how they got out, dear. 
Am		C	   F	    C		      G	
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
         C	F	         Am   G 
I was happier then with no mind-set. 
G			      C		
And if you'd 'a took to me like 
   F	C	       G
A gull takes to the wind. 
G			     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
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. 
Am			C	      F	        C                   G
New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
    C                    F     	   Am G
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony. 
Am     		        C			  F
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, 
    C			G
Never should have called 
  C		 F	        Am G
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely. 
G			     C
And if you'd 'a took to me like 
  F      C	       G
A gull takes to the wind. 
G			    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
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well. 
Am		      C		F	       C			G
God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs, 
   C	        F			Am  G
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away. 
 G			C		          F	 C	    G
I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find. 
G		       C			   F	C	  G
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine? 
G			    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
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
