Am F
Just a dime store poet keeping pace talking his face blue
Am F
Two dollar store tramps to get a glance a new chance at you
Am F
Walk passed the dance floor It's always been a dear friend of mine
Am F E
Cut calls and concubines Dancing in four four time
CHORUS:
Am F C E
Hey mister the bellman says I can only recall and spend some time I said
Am F
So he replies Then how do you manage
E
I dodge the blast and apologize for collateral damage
Am F C E
Am F
In love I've always been a mercenary
C E Am
But I never leave my post when the cash runs out
F C
I want to make you quiver make your back bones shiver
E
Hey kid take the stage and deliver
CHORUS:
Am F C E
Hey mister the bellman says I can only recall and spend some time I said
Am F
So he replies Then how do you manage
E
I dodge the blast and apologize for collateral damage
Am F C E x2 (This is progression is repeated through this part):
How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent's blood
Do you feel sad Full of rage Or does that outfit help bury your feelings
Hiding your true self
You're truly an extraordinary Specimen I look forward to breaking you
No guitar
I dodge the blast and apologize for collateral damage
CHORUS:
Am F C E
Hey mister the bellman says I can only recall and spend some time I said
Am F
So he replies Then how do you manage
E
I dodge the blast and apologize for collateral damage
x2
Am F C E x2
Am (let ring)
