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