Verse
A
theres a hole in my head
F#m
where the lines you read
F#m
melt into a bowl
D
and treat me a like a fool
[Verse 2]
A
they froth at the mouths
F#m
and call me a clown
F#m
for jumping through their hoops
D
and standing on their shoes
[Chorus]
A D
but don't be sad
A F#m
it’ll never last
A D
and don't be sad OOOOO
A F#m D
it’ll never last
[Verse 3]
A
until you throw away your shoes
Bm F#m
and buy expensive boots
F#m
to walk straight through the scene
D
smash snails to smithereens
[Verse 4]
A
you call your love a lie
F#m
a choke of desire
F#m
with a brain your couldn't beat
D
and hands as soft as feet
[Chorus]
A D
but don't be sad
A F#m
it’ll never last
A D
and don't be sad OOOOO
A F#m D
it’ll never last
[Verse 5]
F#m C B D A
until you run and get the kids to lick the bottoms of their lips
F#m
and they stare straight at the sun
Bm A
and down the barrel of the gun
F#m Bm
you point it up you point it down
D
family all around
A E
you never lied
F#m
watch your back
D
they've got you by the neck
D
its never fair
Bm
its never fair
A F#m
to see their smiles everywhere
F#m
but your face looks like a clowns
A
paint it up and paint it down
A
pity, piercing pray
A
each morning of each day
F#m
its the last song left to sing
B
you pretty little thing.
