[Verse 1]
And the [Bb]first one tore a picture
[Bb]Of a dead and hanging man
[Bb]Who was kissing foreign fishes
[Bb]That flew right out from this hands
And when I [F]put my arms around him
[F]I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an [Bb]eeriness surrounded
[Bb]When his tongue began to speak
And he said "Oh [F]boy you are so pretty"
[F]"Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string",
And [Bb]when I finally kissed him
[Bb]The whole world began to ring
Lost like a [F]bell that's tipping over
[F]With two cracks along both sides
And I [Bb]knew the world was over
[Bb]So I took a look outside
And watched the [F]fires that were reaching
[F]Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
And the [Bb]waiting scene and the Sunday dream
[Bb]They're all waiting here for me
[Instrumental]
[F]Ho[Bb]rn part (this repeats through verses 2 and 3)
[F] [Bb]

[Verse 2]
[Bb]Deli markets with their flower stands
[Bb]And pretty girls and the burning men
Hanging [F]out on the hooks next to the window displays
[F]And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
Across a [Bb]bridge and across the mountains
[Bb]Threw a nickel in a fountain
To save my [F]soul from all these troubled times
[F]And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm [Bb]always sober
[Bb]Always aching,
[Bb]Always heading towards,
[Bb]My suicide, occult figurines
And wasted [F]gas-station attendants
[F]Attending to their jobs
And a [Bb]nice drive in the country
[Bb]Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh when this [F]life just gets so grating
[F]All the grittiness of life
But don't [Bb]take those pills your boyfriend gave you
[Bb]You're too wonderful to die
[Instrumental]
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
[Verse 3]
[Bb]And the last one tore a picture
[Bb]From the pornographic page
[Bb]When all the pleasure points attacking
[Bb]All the looks of love were staged
And it's a [F]lie that you've been given
[F]That just hurts you every day
So why [Bb]should I lay here naked
[Bb]When it's just too far away
From any[F]thing we could call loving
[F]Any love worth living for
So I'll [Bb]sleep out in the gutter
[Bb]You can sleep here on the floor
And when I [F]wake up in the morning
[F]I won't forget to lock the door
Because with a [Bb]match that's mean and some gasoline
[Bb]You won't see me anymore
[Outro]
[F] [Bb]
