[Intro]

Em Em7

[Verse]

Em Em7 Em Em7

I wish I was a whirling dervish

Em Em7 Em Em7

Shooting starts and cold white walls

G G6 G G6

Well, I want you to remember

G G6 G G6

Jail's a hefty collect call

Em Em7 Em Em7

Now my friends are alcoholics

Em Em7 Em Em7

Yeah that's right, and I'm one too

Em Em7 Em Em7

So I sold the tumblin' dice

Em Em7 Em Em7

And all our babies, they're so blue

G G6 G G6

But I'm gonna send you postcards

G G6 G G6

Post-apocalyptic love

Em Em7 Em Em7

Wrap your arms around my trigger

Em Em7 Em Em7

All my ammo's been shot off

[Chorus]

A G A G

That's the last, last time you'll see me flailing arms and shaking trees

A G B7

That's the last, last time I promised you I'd rid myself of thee

Ah, there's no comfort in black hell

Em Em7 Em Em7

[Verse]

Em Em7 Em Em7

Well, I'm running like a rooster

Em Em7 Em Em7

Got my head between my knees

G G6 G G6

Seems my cock has got cut off

G G6 G G6

The many men, they're chasing me

Em Em7 Em Em7

Read a book, or burn the bible

Em Em7 Em Em7

Tell your father he's your slave

Em Em7 Em Em7

Watch your best friend laid to rest,

Em Em7 Em Em7

and toss a flower on his grave

G G6 G G6

Kiss my girlfriend in the morning,

G G6 G G6

and again at half past noon

Em Em7 Em Em7

I'm so insecure, it's frightening

Em Em7 Em Em7

But I promise you, that's through

'Cause I've always gotta have ya, but you..

Don't always need me

Ah, there's no comfort in black hell

No, not in black hell

[Outro]

A G

Ah, there's nothing that you'll want

A G

There's nothing that should be

A G

There's nothing, except you're sorry,

and the mental misery

B7 Em Em7 Em

Ah, there's no comfort in black hell
