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