View chords used in this chart
D F# Gm
When you hung me up
D F#7 G6
And my heart dried out
D A A#
Just like the fruit
On a windowsill
C D
I'm taking us back to the city
D6 Gm
And your mind don't know
D F#7 G6
I can hear her cry
D A A#
Was it something I did
in a past life?
C D A#
She can't compare you to your sister, oh
C
I was the leader of a pack
D A#
But now I holler in a high voice, oh
C
I've done what you will never do
D D6 Gm
Look away with an eyeful of hope
D F#7 G6
'Cause I'm a hopeless sap
D A A#
And I'm sleeping out in the wilderness
C D
With my fleeting thoughts by the fire you know, you know, you know
D6 Gm
I was snug as fuck
D F#7 G6
In a Sunday suit
D A A#
Like I'm all wrapped up in the innocence
C D A#
But you're getting over so quickly, oh
C
I have a habit of attack
D A#
Dispel all the wild thoughts, oh
Black bangs, alligator teeth
C D A#
This the type of girl you would fight for, oh
C
And I've seen what you will never see
D A#
Doesn't pay being careful, oh
C
I've done what you will never do
D Gm
Look away with your eye full of hope
