From the album “Suicide Handbook”

Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus),
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works
best.

Verse 1:
G
If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all

But I don't know anything anymore

I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
a* b* C
They were outside just poundin' on the door

Verse 2:
G
Ladies in the corner want to borrow your smokes

As if returning them would do any good

Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
a* b* C
That for everyone eventually comes

Chorus 1:
C D DaddB C
I know I got a long way to go
C D DaddB C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D DaddB C
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph

Verse 3:
G
I got a letter in my pocket and a pain in my tooth

And there's money in the bank up the street

I got a jacket that would fit you
a* b* C
And a couple of old guitars that I'd like for you to keep

Verse 4:
G
If you run into my sister tell her "Elvis is cool

but the Rolling Stones will sweep her away"

And money's always worth it on a Monday night
a* b* C
Cause on Friday she should get it for free

Chorus 2:
C D DaddB C
I know I got a long way to go
C D DaddB C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D DaddB C
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am
I'm slipping through the cracks . . .

Bridge:

Bm G Gsus4 G Gsus4
And everybody's dancing as the ship's going down
Bm D DaddC DaddB DaddC D DaddC DaddB DaddC D G G sus4
Why is it taking so long? (indecipherable………)

Verse 5:
G
If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all

But I don't know anything anymore

I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
a* b* C
And I don't know what for

Verse 6:
G
Ladies in the corner want to borrow my smokes

As if returning 'em would do any good

Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
a* b* C
And everybody knows it too

Chorus 3:
C D DaddB C
I know I got a long way to go
C D DaddB C
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D DaddB C
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph

Please enjoy!
