Verse 1:

G#               A#             D#        A#        F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
      A#           D#           Gm   F
Only, i don't know how they got out, dear.
G#              A#     D#         A#          F
Turn me back in-to the pet that i was when we met.
      A#      D#           Gm   F
I was happier then with no mind-set.



Chorus:

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



Verse 2:

G#                 A#         D#           A#           F
New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
          A#             D#           Gm F
Hope it's right when you die, old and bo-ny.
G#                 A#               D#       A#                   F
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall, ne-ver should have call-ed
       A#            D#           Gm   F
But my head's to the wall and I'm lone-ly.



Chorus:

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

Verse 3:

G#                A#        D#            A#            F
God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
          A#         D#              Gm     F
And bleed into their buns 'till they melt a-way.



Chorus:

F                     A#                  D#      A#       F
I'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.
                        A#             D#   A#          F
Without a trust or flam-ing fields am i too dumb to ref-ine?
                        A#
And if you'd 'a took to me like
     D#    A#              D#               A#
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eye-sores
        D#          A#             F
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
