[Verse]
D         A           Bm
Rowboat... lightning...
              G                      F#
I kissed her, yeah, it didn't mean a thing
                            G
Seems like years ago it was yesterday

D            A             Bm
Fire drill... yell freeze...
            G                 F#
Don't hang around long face disease
                                           G
I got a book of poems that's gonna set you free

[Chorus]
          D
Well it's bad luck
           A
And it's a hard luck story
        Bm                      G
And I'm sorry I ain't sticking around
        D                       A                    G
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough
            D
Well it's a sick world
    A
And sixteen days
      Bm               G
I got nightmares every night
        D                       A                    G
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough

Hardcore.. uptown...
                G                      F#
Not the kind of place you wanna settle down
                                         G
I only walked her home but that was bad enough

D            A             Bm
Two trains... yell freeze...
                 G                      F#
It was a head-on cold now it's a love disease
                                         G
I got a book of poems you gotta see to believe

[Chorus]
          D
Well it's bad luck
           A
And it's a hard luck story
        Bm                      G
And I'm sorry I ain't sticking around
        D                       A                    G
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough
            D
Well it's a sick world
    A
And sixteen days
      Bm               G
I got nightmares every night
        D                       A                    G
I got a real bad feeling that a book of poems ain't enough
