D5            G5       C5      G5    D5
What is that fallin' out of your eyes
D5            G5          C5    G5    D5
What is that rollin' on down your shirt
D5           G5                  C5    G5    D5 
Thunder and lightning from the bloodshot skies
D5             G5              C5    G5    D5
This time its feeling like a permanent hurt 

G5     C5    G5    D5       G5    C5   G5   D5

D5            G5           C5  G5   D5  
What is that lipstick up on his sleeve
D5             G5              C5        G5    D5
Wheres the forgiveness thats stronger than dirt
D5           G5                  C5       G5  D5
Tearin' the words out when you ask him to leave
D5              G5          C5    G5    D5
This time it's gonna be a permanent hurt 
  G5                       C5    G5    D5
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G5                            C5  G5  D5
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G5                         C5   G5  D5
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G5                           C5       G5      D5         G5  
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt

G5     C5    G5    D5        G5    C5   G5   D5
 
D5             G5                C5    G5  D5
What were you thinkin when you fell in love
D5             G5               C5      G5     D5
What were you thinkin in that little black skirt
D5         G5                  C5       D5  
Bet you a rainbow you werent thinkin of

D5             G5             C5    G5    D5
Scuffin' your heels up on a permanent hurt 
  G5                       C5    G5    D5
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G5                            C5  G5  D5
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G5                         C5   G5   D5
Promises broken hearts on red a   lert
    G5                          C5       G5      D5         G5
The surface will heal, but its feelin' like a permanent hurt 

Solo

D5             G5             C5   G5    D5
It's all temporary like the big book tells
D5        G5           C5    G5  D5  
Ashes to ashes, baby dirt to dirt
D5              G5              C5    G5    D5
Something gets scary, someone runs like hell
D5              G5         C5    G5    D5 
Somebody winds up with a permanent hurt 

  G5                       C5    G5    D5
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G5                            C5  G5  D5
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G5                         C5   G5  D5
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G5                           C5       G5      D5         G5               
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt

  G5                       C5    G5    D5
A permanent hurt, yeah, a permanent hurt
    G5                            C5  G5  D5
The pain and the memories do the dirty work
G5                         C5   G5  D5
Promises broken hearts on red a  lert
    G5                           C5       G5      D5         G5      
The surface will heal, but it's feelin' like a permanent hurt.
