              AmLook (x02210@1)what you started,
             F (133211@1)              GI (320003@1)seem to be coming out of my skin
                    AmLook (x02210@1)what you've forgotten here
             F (133211@1)                GThe (320003@1)bandages just don't keep me in

                Am (x02210@1)      
And when it was over 
           F (133211@1)   GI (320003@1)woke up alone 
                Am (x02210@1)      
And when it was over 
           F (133211@1)   GI (320003@1)woke up alone 

Chorus:
          Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)        CAnd (x32010@1)they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
            Am (x02210@1)    G (320003@1)     F (133211@1)     C (x32010@1)        
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
   Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1)           F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)    
I called for my father but my father had died
      F (133211@1)                       G (320003@1)       CWhile (x32010@1)you told me fortunes, in American Slang


            AmLook (x02210@1)at the damage,
             F (133211@1)                 Gthe (320003@1)fortunes came for the richer men.
                      Amwhile (x02210@1)we're left with gallows,
               F (133211@1)                    Gwaiting (320003@1)for us liars to come down and hang.

                Am (x02210@1)      
And when it was over 
           F (133211@1)   GI (320003@1)woke up alone 
                Am (x02210@1)      
And when it was over 
           F (133211@1)   GI (320003@1)woke up alone 


          Am (x02210@1)         G (320003@1)          F (133211@1)        CAnd (x32010@1)they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive

               D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)          
And she will always keep your cards

Close to her heart oooh
