| D | G | |
| I could | fall asleep for | you, my girl |
| C | |
| But it's | not enough |
| D | G | |
| For the | scenes of your last | visit |
| C | |
| Lie | buried in the dust |
| D | G | |
| If I don't | fall in love with | you, my girl |
| C | |
| Please | understand |
| D | G | |
| I'll go | find another | county |
| C | |
| And | leave it in the end |
| G | D | |
| I've seen | forty-seven | pictures |
| C | D | |
| All with | you upon the | face |
| Em | D | |
| From the | noise I'm making | running |
| C | D | |
| Is a | secondary | pace |
| G | D | |
| From the | scenes of your last | visit |
| C | D | |
| I still | feel it where we | touch |
| Em | D | G | C | G | |
| Where | you cost | me too | much |
| Oh, the time I spent with you, my girl |
| Was all in vain |
| Waiting out the rapids |
| You can't escape the pain |
| And if I fall in love with you, my girl |
| It'll never end |
| And the sky will likely open |
| Raining holocaust and zen |
| At the west side of the forest |
| On a highway in the sun |
| Stands a pointless individual |
| Who knows his time has come |
| Though I know it's nothing funny |
| I'm still howling like a lush |
| 'Cause you cost me too much |
| D | G | |
| It's the same in | here |
| D | G | |
| Nothing's changed yet, my | dear |
| Em | |
| Oh, if | I had known to know you well |
| D7 | G | C | G | C | G | |
| Lock us up in a sinner's hell for | days |
| If I don't fall in love with you, my girl |
| Please understand |
| I'll go find another city |
| And leave it in the end |
| And if I run away with you, my girl |
| Please try to see |
| I'll do all I can to please you |
| But I don't expect you'll be |
| On the highest roof around me |
| Where I'm feeling pretty dumb |
| I scan on the horizon |
| For other dumbshits as they come |
| I'm growing older faster |
| Still howling like a lush |
| Em | D | |
| 'Cause | you cost | me |
| Em | D | |
| You cost | me |
| Em | D | G | C | G | |
| You cost | me too | much |
