Verse 1:
C#m F#m E G#7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
C#m F#m E G#7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
C#m F#m E G#7
They were swarming around my head; you'd be better off dead.

'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
E G#7
You know where I'm coming from.
C#m F#m
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
E G#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
C#m F#m
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
E G#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
C#m F#m
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
E G#7
And wants you to be his special guest.

Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.
