floor. I'll see your [C]lucky coin and raise a pack of [F]lies. [Am]Smile to the
girl at the door, a[G]nother four-dollar whore. But don't [C]look her in the
eyes she'll break your[F] heart. We came [Am]all the way from Tai[G]pei today.
Still [C]Bangkok's pissin' rain and we're [F]goin' blind again and I haven't
[Am]seen my girl for [G]fifteen thousand miles.
