theres a hole in my head

melt into a bowl

and treat me a like a fool
[Verse 2]

they froth at the mouths
D#m
and call me a clown
D#m
for jumping through their hoops
B
and standing on their shoes
[Chorus]
F# B
but don't be sad
F# D#m
it’ll never last

and don't be sad OOOOO
F# D#m B

until you throw away your shoes
G#m D#m
and buy expensive boots
D#m
to walk straight through the scene
B
smash snails to smithereens
[Verse 4]

you call your love a lie
D#m
a choke of desire

with a brain your couldn't beat

and hands as soft as feet

it’ll never last

and don't be sad OOOOO
F# D#m B
it’ll never last
[Verse 5]
D#m A G# B F#
until you run and get the kids to lick the bottoms of their lips

and they stare straight at the sun

and down the barrel of the gun
D#m G#m
you point it up you point it down
B
family all around
F# C#
you never lied
D#m
watch your back
B
they've got you by the neck
B
its never fair
G#m
its never fair
F# D#m
to see their smiles everywhere

but your face looks like a clowns
F#
paint it up and paint it down
F#
pity, piercing pray
F#
each morning of each day
D#m
its the last song left to sing

you pretty little thing.
