[Verse 1]
G
theres a hole in my head
Em
where the lines you read
Em
melt into a bowl
C
and treat me a like a fool
[Verse 2]
G
they froth at the mouths
Em
and call me a clown
Em
for jumping through their hoops
C
and standing on their shoes
[Chorus]
G C
but don't be sad
G Em
it’ll never last
G C
and don't be sad OOOOO
G Em C
it’ll never last
[Verse 3]
G
until you throw away your shoes
Am Em
and buy expensive boots
Em
to walk straight through the scene
C
smash snails to smithereens
[Verse 4]
G
you call your love a lie
Em
a choke of desire
Em
with a brain your couldn't beat
C
and hands as soft as feet
[Chorus]
G C
but don't be sad
G Em
it’ll never last
G C
and don't be sad OOOOO
G Em C
it’ll never last
[Verse 5]
Em Bb A C G
until you run and get the kids to lick the bottoms of their lips
Em
and they stare straight at the sun
Am G
and down the barrel of the gun
Em Am
you point it up you point it down
C
family all around
G D
you never lied
Em
watch your back
C
they've got you by the neck
C
its never fair
Am
its never fair
G Em
to see their smiles everywhere
Em
but your face looks like a clowns
G
paint it up and paint it down
G
pity, piercing pray
G
each morning of each day
Em
its the last song left to sing
A
you pretty little thing.
