Capo 1
Intro: D G D A D G G Em A
D G
Im tired of all the torches
D A
The church bells breakin' the dawn
D G
Im tired of all the nights
G Em
Stumblin home alone
A
and singing to the dogs
D G
The windows they are laughin'
D A
And the moon is broken and old
D G
Like businessmen who shot themselves
G Em
To escape their debts
A
And the truth bein' told
G A
So if you lost in a sleepy town
D G
Where the good girls go to church
G A D
Just damn all the villains and the preachers words
D G D x2
D G
Ive slept on a thousand couches
D A
While Jeremy slept in cars
D G
He was told America loves him
G Em A
But thats not the truth and the truth is hard
D G
So we spill our sins with cheap beer
D A
And the townies search for a home
D G
I saved a man from killin himself
G Em A
By damning the hells and all the unknowns
G A
When I speak my tongue spits fire
D G
And everybody gets hurt
G A D
Said damn all the villains and the preachers words
D G D x2
D G D A D G G Em A
D G
Ive suffered a million bruises
D A
That mothers refuse to see
D G
Cant life just be like the 19 's
G Em A
We see to believe on the silver screen
D G
But the women they dont like me
D A
Or in the end they all disappear
D G
They're off to marry nice rich men
G Em A
Who stain their pens year after year
G A
So if suburbia has swallowed you
D G
Where the grass dont need the dirt
G A D
Just damn all the villains and the preachers words
G A
If youve roamed high for a million miles
D G
And still cant find your worth
G A D
Just damn all the villains and the preachers words
G D
