Of all the sh*tty little places I meet you it's here

And I'm freaking out

I heard you got a brand new name

Selling Es in the dark

G                      E7
Well I see your yellow fingers
         A7    
And your crucifix bones

All covered in cellophane
G              E7
Was there when your best friend said
A7                    D7
"Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again"
G          E7
I wouldn't move if I was you
A7                               D7
I wouldn't wanna caught when the lights go out
