Intro
Cm D# A# G# 4x
G# 3x
[Verse 1]
Cm D# A# G#
why can't we rearrange the tectonic plates?
Cm D# A# G#
there's another painted woman at the foot of the stage
Cm D# A# G#
blue eyes, black thighs, you don't give a damn
Cm D# A# G#
as every cheek in this room prepares to give you a hand
G# 3x
[Verse 2]
Cm D# A# G#
cheap beer and moonlight were never enough
Cm D# A# G#
and every time i cried wolf, you had to call my bluff
Cm D# A# G#
you'd start to call me more fashionable names
Cm D# A# G#
and i chipped my teeth on our wedding day
G# 3x
[Chorus]
Cm D# A# G#
bang, bang, bang goes the front door
Cm D# A# G#
and bang, bang, bang goes my heart to the floor
Cm D# A# G#
you'd be a liar if you settled for more
Cm D# A# G#
oh, these are the plights of the ever-unsure
G# 3x
Cm D# A# G# 4x
G# 3x
[Verse 3]
Cm D# A# G#
if we do this your way, it'll never be through
Cm D# A# G#
we've got a lot to say and even less to do
Cm D# A# G#
bloodlust is the ticket, and contrition is fraud
Cm D# A# G#
you'll have a hell of a time crawling back to the start
G# 3x
[Verse 4]
Cm D# A# G#
build me a cradle and make it swing deep
Cm D# A# G#
and you can tell all the neighbors that i just went to sleep
Cm D# A# G#
you'd be a liar if you settled for less
Cm D# A# G#
Oh, you'd be a liar if you settled for less
Cm D# A# G#
Oh, you'd be a liar if you settled for less
G#
Oh...
Cm D# A# G# G# 3x
so just cut off my hands and watch me try to undress
