G     C    G    D      G    C   G   D


D            G       C      G    D
What is that fallin' out of your eyes
D            G          C    G    D
What is that rollin' on down your shirt
D           G                  C    G    D 
Thunder and lightning from the bloodshot skies
D             G              C    G    D
This time its feeling like a permanent hurt 

G     C    G    D       G    C   G   D

D            G           C  G   D  
What is that lipstick up on his sleeve
D             G              C        G    D
Wheres the forgiveness thats stronger than dirt
D           G                  C       G  D
Tearin' the words out when you ask him to leave
D              G          C    G    D
This time it's gonna be a permanent hurt 
  G                       C    G    D
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G                            C  G  D
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G                         C   G  D
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G                           C       G      D         G  
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt

G     C    G    D        G    C   G   D
 
D             G                C    G  D
What were you thinkin when you fell in love
D             G               C      G     D
What were you thinkin in that little black skirt
D         G                  C       D  
Bet you a rainbow you werent thinkin of

D             G             C    G    D
Scuffin' your heels up on a permanent hurt 
  G                       C    G    D
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G                            C  G  D
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G                         C   G   D
Promises broken hearts on red a   lert
    G                          C       G      D         G
The surface will heal, but its feelin' like a permanent hurt 

Solo

D             G             C   G    D
It's all temporary like the big book tells
D        G           C    G  D  
Ashes to ashes, baby dirt to dirt
D              G              C    G    D
Something gets scary, someone runs like hell
D              G         C    G    D 
Somebody winds up with a permanent hurt 

  G                       C    G    D
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G                            C  G  D
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G                         C   G  D
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G                           C       G      D         G               
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt

  G                       C    G    D
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G                            C  G  D
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G                         C   G  D
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G                           C       G      D         G      
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt.
