Intro
D#m Em, F# A#7 (x2)
Verse 1:
D#m G#m F# A#7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
D#m G#m F# A#7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
D#m G#m F# A#7
They were swarming around my head; you'd be better off dead.
Bridge 1:
B A#m
But I ain't going down like that.
B A#m
I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 1:
D#m G#m
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
F# A#7
You know where I'm coming from.
D#m G#m
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
F# A#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
D#m G#m
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
F# A#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
D#m G#m
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
F# A#7
And wants you to be his special guest.

B A#m B A#m
Ooh... ooh...
Verse 2:
D#m G#m F# A#7
I remember when, I saw the leaves fall.
D#m G#m
I was in the woods,
B A#7
And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball.
D#m G#m F# A#7
Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.
