Me and my brother's old lady went out and got stinking,
                                                    D
she solved her curiosities about me by the railroad tracks.
    G                                            Cadd9
She said I reminded her of him before he started drinking
    G                      D                         G
and banging the babysitter every time she turned her back.
 
 
Cadd9                                         G
We opened up the sunroof and smoked a big ole joint
    G
and drank a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon
                              D
listening to the crickets and trains.
Cadd9                                    G        Cadd9
Every so often she'd lapse into narcotic rambling.

Moon and mascara.         I've always been a holy terror.
Asus2               G     Cadd9
Temptations lurking every where. 
        Asus2                 Cadd9
If your mind's in the gutter, Beware!
               G
You'll find me there.
 
 
G                                      Cadd9
Me and a friend were talking after the funeral.
                                              D
She said it should have been me but I'm still around 
    G                                              Cadd9
and I been so wild, I'm surprised I made it to the seventh grade,
    G                   D            G
and all my dead friends have settled down.
 
 
Cadd9                                        G
My eyes were puffy and she asked if I'd been crying.
        G                                    D
I said 'tears are for pussies' but who was I kidding.
Cadd9                                   G        Cadd9
So we stopped at the bar and drank them dry. 
Asus2            Em7       Asus2             Cadd9
Beer and tequila.         I've always been a thrill seeker. 
Asus2             G            Cadd9
But thrills are a dime a dozen these days.
      Asus2                      Cadd9
And I found a dime in the gutter today. 
Asus2                  G           Cadd9
Tails facing up. Still fucking up. Still fucking up.
G                                                    Cadd9
A funny thing happened on my way to a strange way of thinking.
