VERSE 1

Sulkin'

walkin' 'round the city after dark

need protection from street thugs

and rip the doors off rugs

CHORUS

and all this life we've glorified

it's not easy, you see

don't think I don't know sympathy

starin' back at me

not me, I'm knockin

casually let myself in

fill pockets with

trinkets, purses, china antique armoirs

CHORUS

and all this life we've glorified

it's not easy, you see

don't think I don't know sympathy

starin' back at me

as robbers in my thoughts

they're hiding in my clothes

crawling in the kitchen sink

repeat the same chord pattern until end

| hammer-on

| p pull-off
