[Verse 1]
G#m F# E C#m
I followed her down by the railroad tracks
G#m F# E C#m
Waited until she couldn't turn back
G#m F# E C#m
Her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream
G#m F# E D# E7m
Yeah a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Verse 2]
G#m F# E C#m
Took both her kids and put em in the garage
G#m F# E E7m E
And I took off in her car and became a mirage
G#m F# E C#m
Out in the desert where the air is clean
G#m F# E D#m C#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Bridge]
E C#7m Em
An innocent man might take the blame
E F# Em G#m F# E C#m
I'll shave my head, and change my name
[Verse 3]
G#m F# E C#m
Out in the desert it's as still as death
G#m F# E C#m
It's as if mother nature mother nature was holding her breath
G#m F# E C#m
The coyotes howl and the vultures scream
G#m F# E D#m C#m
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
G#m F# E C#m

[Verse 4]
G#m F# E C#m
I guess it started when I was a teen
G#m F# E C#m
And my parents will never know their little boy is such a fiend
G#m F# E C#m
I guess sometimes it works out, but you never know what it means
G#m F# E D#m C#m
Cause a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
E B C#m
Naw, a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
