Intro
[E] [C] [F#] [Am] [E]
[E]Cause I lost my job [Asus2] [A] two weeks before Christma[E]s[Asus2][A]
And I tal[E]ked to Jesus at the sewer[Asus2] [A] and the Pope said it was none of his G[E]od-damned business [Asus2][A]
While the [E]rain drank champagne [Asus2] [A] my Estonian Archangel came an[E]d got me wasted [Asus2][A]
Cause the swee[E]test kiss I ever got [Asus2] [A] is the one I've never [E]tasted[Asus2][A]
Oh but they'll t[E]ake their bonus p[A]ay [G#m] to Molly McDonal[B]d,
[E]Neon ladies,[A] beauty is that which obeys,[G#m] is bought or borro[B]wed
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
and I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone And likes to laugh alone
is always threatening you with leaving
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
And I explained that I had overpaid them
So overdued I went to the company store
and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
In weekends of whiskey sours
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
