[INTRO]
Bb Dm C F x4
[Verse 1]
Bb Dm F C
May I have a moment please, before the guillotine, to lament on her wet hair
Bb Dm F C
Tousled over her left shoulder wearing a Corfu t-shirt she took as her nightwear
Bb Dm F C
I could slip on my own salt sobs seeking the cold embrace of the fridge freezer aisle
Bb Dm F C
Catwalk into the dog pound, now with my flesh wounds dressed to spring-summer style
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For who all time ticks by until one joke becomes old
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm F C
There is beauty in the world, I've been told by people I've nothing but trust in
Bb Dm F C
Piled up with the cotton buds, among the toothpicks, inside the dark of the dustbin
Bb Dm F C
Waited outside of "Jersey Boys" for what seemed like a year, a life lived in the vestibule
Bb Dm F C
Scout yourself as a one-man team, you're a one club man denied a testimonial
[Bridge]
Gm F
(No knot in the waistband)
F
Persuade me to give up and leave quietly
Gm F
(No reason to grandstand)
F
File me alongside the obscene
Gm
It's 7:20 Monday morning
F
I look to the man with no suit for a warning
Gm
If open to reason/collusion
F
May the way that I go be regrettable, gruesome
C Bb Dm C F
In exchange for one thing: "I beg do not take me today"
F Bb Dm C F
Babbling "please let me stay"
[Chorus]
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For who all time ticks by until one joke becomes old
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold
Bb Dm
For whom the belly tolls
F C
For whom the belly tolls
