[Verse 1]
C#m B A F#m
I followed her down by the railroad tracks
C#m B A F#m
Waited until she couldn't turn back
C#m B A F#m
Her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream
C#m B A G# E7m
Yeah a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Verse 2]
C#m B A F#m
Took both her kids and put em in the garage
C#m B A E7m A
And I took off in her car and became a mirage
C#m B A F#m
Out in the desert where the air is clean
C#m B A G#m F#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Bridge]

An innocent man might take the blame
A B Am C#m B A F#m
I'll shave my head, and change my name
[Verse 3]
C#m B A F#m
Out in the desert it's as still as death
C#m B A F#m
It's as if mother nature mother nature was holding her breath
C#m B A F#m
The coyotes howl and the vultures scream
C#m B A G#m F#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream

I guess it started when I was a teen
C#m B A F#m
And my parents will never know their little boy is such a fiend
C#m B A F#m
I guess sometimes it works out, but you never know what it means
C#m B A G#m F#m
Cause a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
A E F#m
Naw, a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
