theres a hole in my head
Dm
where the lines you read
Dm
melt into a bowl
A#
and treat me a like a fool
[Verse 2]

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

until you throw away your shoes
Gm Dm
and buy expensive boots
Dm
to walk straight through the scene
A#
smash snails to smithereens

you call your love a lie

a choke of desire

with a brain your couldn't beat

and hands as soft as feet

but don't be sad

it’ll never last
F A#
and don't be sad OOOOO

it’ll never last
[Verse 5]
Dm Ab G A# F
until you run and get the kids to lick the bottoms of their lips
Dm
and they stare straight at the sun
Gm F
and down the barrel of the gun
Dm Gm
you point it up you point it down
A#
family all around
F C
you never lied
Dm
watch your back
A#
they've got you by the neck
A#
its never fair
Gm
its never fair
F Dm
to see their smiles everywhere
Dm
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
Dm
its the last song left to sing
G
you pretty little thing.
