1]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd the first one tore a picture[/tab]\r\nOf a dead and hanging man\r\nWho was kissing foreign fishes\r\nThat flew right out of his hand\r\n\r\n[ch]F[/ch]\r\n\r\nAnd when I put my hands around him\r\nI felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd an eeriness surrounded me[/tab]\r\nWhen his tongue began to speak\r\nand he said,\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nOh boy you are so pretty[/tab]\r\nEnough to wrap up tight in rice paper strings\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd when I finally kissed him[/tab]\r\nThe whole world began

outside\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd watched the fires that were reaching up[/tab]\r\nto the weathervane and tops of trees\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd the waiting scene and the sunday

girls and the burning men\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nHanging out on the hooks next to window displays[/tab]\r\nAnd I took out my tongue twice removed from my face\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAcross a bridge and across the mountains[/tab]\r\nThrew a nickel in a fountain\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nTo save my soul from all these troubled times[/tab]\r\nAnd all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take\r\nto soothe my mind so I'm\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAlways sober[/tab]\r\nAlways aching\r\nAlways heading toward\r\nMass suicide, occult figurines\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd wasted gas station attendants[/tab]\r\nAttending to their jobs\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nAnd a nice drive in the country[/tab]\r\nFind a nice cliff to drop off, oh\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd this life just

away\r\nfrom anything\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nwe could call love,[/tab]\r\nAny love worth living for\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nSo I'll sleep out in the gutter[/tab]\r\nYou can sleep here on the floor\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]F[/ch]\r\nAnd when I wake up in the morning[/tab]\r\nI'll forget to lock the door\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Bb[/ch]\r\nCause with a match that's mean and some gasoline[/tab]\r\nYou won't
