DIRT AND DEAD ENDS (Amy Ray)

No Capo

                     G
You're looking at foreclosure
           D
And doing time
                    C
And it don't sound good this time
                 G           D
They found the meth and the scale,
          C
And the wife that made your life Hell

G         B                   Em
All the time you were telling me
          C
You were fine
G  D   C
Silly man

               G
So I got your dog.
         D
How is that?
           C
I made it nice, I wrote a check.
             G                D
You cut the weeds back on my drive
                     C
Cause you're a good guy deep down inside.
              G              D
What makes a boy like you go bad,
              C
What makes a man so lonely and sad,
             G            D
That he'd poison all he knows
            C
And in one year, just let it go?

G             B                    Em
And all that time you were telling me
          C
You were fine
G      D         C
Silly man, silly boy

                   G             D
It's been you and me on this frontier
                    C
Trying not to be suburban pioneers.
                    G
Fighting off the pavers
             D
And the associations
            C
And the covenants against the trailers.

            G               D
I remember how we used to laugh
                      C
At all those rotten men in "camo" drag
                G               D
With their advantage and their guns
              C
Up the deer stand shooting up a storm

G           B
And all the time
                  Em           C
You were telling me all those lies
G         D                 C
Silly man, I'm just a silly girl

             G
There was a time
                          D
We could hibernate like bears
           C
But we finally come up for air
        G                         D
And everything's all marked and cleared,
                 C
Survey flags flying everywhere.

                  G
Once you said to me
                             D
You know, what I'll miss the most
         C
Is just being the only ones
           G                 D
With our dirt and our dead ends
        C
And no one to turn us in.

Enjoy!
