D#the chances thaCmt you are go downG#

D#this weak littlCme shell of a man G#falls away
[Verse 2]
G#I know that A#the plight of the morCmning's light will Cmnot let you love me
G#and baby you A#got stitches that wiCmll tell me differeCmntly
G#when it's a A#patchwork of click anCmd something that sCmounds like a beak break bonesaw
G#it's good enA#ough for ra but it's Cmnot good enough foCmr me
[Chorus]
G#as derelict you come off slow,
D#even in the kitCmty jail you where G#calico
G#and as the prisoner in the chains arrive
D#catcalls baring Cmteeth come from G#every side
