Verse 1:
Am C
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
F
Were all in my mouth
C Am G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am C
Turn me back into the pet
F
I was when we met
C Am G
I was happier then with no mind set
Chorus:
G C
And if you'd a took to me like
F G
A gull takes to the wind
C
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
F C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Verse 2:
Am C
New slang when you notice the stripes
F
The dirt in your fries
C
Hope it's right when you die
Am G
Old and bony
Am C
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
F
Never should'a called
C
But my heads to the wall
Am G
And I'm lonely
Chorus
Verse 3:
Am C
God speed all the baker's at dawn
F
May they all cut their thumbs
C
And bleed into their buns
Am G
'Till they melt away
Chorus 2:
G C
I'm looking in on the good life
F G
I might be doomed never to find
C
Without a trust or flaming fields
F G
Am I too dumb to refine?
C
And if you'd a took to me like
F C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
