Comment:  This song is from Mike Doughty's album Smofe + Smang Live In Mpls.  This is a 
album, but all the music is played by an acoustic guitar with no drums or bass.  This 
is not for the slightly more electronic normal version.
Capo on 1st fret, all chords in relation to capo.

Sunken-eyed girl in the sandwich shop

Ladle my soup from the kettle pot, so

Swooning my self with the smolder looks

Parsing that gaze for the right intention.

A G

Sunken-eyed girl don't let me go

You're the whole world and you barely know so.

You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking

Bb F

And fall down stumble

All of the things I think and keep thinking

Bb F

And wake up tremble

All

These tears are bound to fall.

Sunken-eyed girl on the Ludlow Street

Chunky land once but they swept it up, so

Sing'in my mind signing you're so sweet

I need a bundle of dop just to numb it out

A G

'Cause I'm feeling so good that it hurts my skin

Feeling so good I could do myself in

You are the drinks I drink and keep drinking and

Bb F

Wake up tremble

All of the blinks I blink and keep blinking and

Bb F

Fall down stumble

All

These tears are bound to fall.
