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