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