From the Album "Oh Inverted World"

Chords - Am, C, F, G

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

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

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

Chorus

Verse 3:
Am                C
God speed all the baker's at dawn
F
May they all cut their thumbs
    C
And bleed into their buns 
           Am   G
'Till they melt away

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