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

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