D5 , G5 , A5
              B5
Look what you started,
             G5                A5
I seem to be coming out of my skin
                    B5
Look what you?ve forgotten here
             G5                  A5
The bandages just don?t keep me in

                B5        
And when it was over 
           G5     A5
I woke up alone 
                B5        
And when it was over 
           G5     A5
I woke up alone 


          B5           A5            G5          D5
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
            B5      A5       G5       D5          
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
   B5            A5             G5          D5      
I called for my father but my father had died
      G5                         A5         D5
While you told me fortunes, in American Slang


            B5
Look at the damage,
             G5                   A5
the fortunes came for the richer men.
                      B5
while we?re left with gallows,
               G5                      A5
waiting for us liars to come down and hang.
                B5        
And when it was over 
           G5     A5
I woke up alone 
                B5        
And when it was over 
           G5     A5
I woke up alone 

  B5           A5            G5          D5
And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
            B5      A5       G5       D5          
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
   B5            A5             G5          D5      
I called for my father but my father had died
      G5                         A5         D5
While you told me fortunes, in American Slang

 

                    B5         A5          G5  
And here?s where we died that time last year,
                       B5         A5       G5      
And here?s where the angels and devils meet.
            B5               A5            G5    
And you can dance with the queen if you need,
               D5                G5            
And she will always keep your cards
   A5            D5      
Close to her heart oooh
            G5       A5                                         
So close to her heart 
                      D5
before they tear you apart

D5 , G5 , A5

And they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive
            B5      A5       G5       D5          
I got your name tattooed inside of my arm
   B5            A5             G5          D5
