And four swell kids breaking her heart
I've got windows, I've seen much vice, I've touched down with vermin,
Cowardice, lice,
And I say
Nobody cares what you do
please be yourself to death
I could be your great misfortune
But you'll never find a

  CMaking my Amlove   Flike a shining starC  
Taking my Amlove   Fjust a touch too farC  
Peter met Frank formed a dummy run gang
Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat
Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky,
Sinn-Fein, Hitler cashdown
No hope heroes cover this page with depts in hell
And fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
threw it all away
Have a life in the grave
Have a life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune
Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life

INTRO: Em (Then the drums crash in and...) C Am

Eddie boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house

Someone to pray for-till I met you

Life is like a broken arrow

memory a swingin' door

I could be your great misfortune

F C

I can make you happy every day of your life

C Am F C

Making my love like a shining star

Am F C

Taking my love just a touch too far

Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice cause love left holes

And four swell kids breaking her heart

I've got windows, I've seen much vice, I've touched down with vermin,

Cowardice, lice,

And I say

Nobody cares what you do

please be yourself to death

I could be your great misfortune

But you'll never find a

bet you'll never find a better man.

C Am F C

Making my love like a shining star

Am F C

Taking my love just a touch too far

Peter met Frank formed a dummy run gang

Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat

Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky,

Sinn-Fein, Hitler cashdown

No hope heroes cover this page with depts in hell

And fingers in blood

Poor little bodies all covered in scabs

threw it all away

Have a life in the grave

Life is like a broken arrow

memory a swingin' door

I could be your great misfortune

Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life
