Verse 1
h[G]ere's another s[Em]ong with the f[C]our
oldest chords in h[D]istory
i[G] guess i lost al[Em]l ambition turni[C]ng left on [D]Missouri
i[G] could have[Em] made it better
b[C]ut the feelings j[D]ust aren't there
m[G]y heart is [Em]cold and black
b[C]ut i just don't t[D]hink i care
s[G]o here's to me saying "[Em]fare-thee-well"
a[C]nd when you hear this song i[D] hope it hurts
Chorus
e[G]namel is [Em]stretched too thin
y[C]ou're beautiful, [D]but not beneath your skin
([G]enamel, l[Em]ike insect shells
s[C]o hollow, l[D]ike your wedding bells.)
Verse 2 (same thing as verse 1)
the phone lines down in mexico are
slow and maybe tired
i think all your devotion, got lost inside
the wires
well i hope you cannot sleep, and i
hope you cannot smile
and i hope that you are burdened with
your guilt for quite a while
i hope you fall in love
but i hope your plans are thwarted
and i hope that now you're back
it's because you were deported
