[Intro]

E
[Pre-Verse]
E A x2
[Verse 1]
E A E A
Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
E A
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
E A
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
[Verse 2]
E A
While the rain drank champagne
E A
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
E A E A
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
[Chorus]
E A G#m B
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
E A G#m B
Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
E A
[Verse 3]
E A E A
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours
E A E A
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
E A E A
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
E
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
A E A
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
[Chorus]
E A G#m B
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
E A G#m B
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
E A
[Verse 4]
E A
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
E A
And I explained that I had overpaid them
E A
So overdued I went to the company store
E A
and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
E A E A
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
E A E A
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
[Interlude]
E A x2
[Verse 5]
E A
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
E A
In weekends of whiskey sours
E A E A
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
[Outro]
