A young girl give me a good luck charm.
E C
Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm.
G C
Got one good leg Ôcause the other went South.
E C G
Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth.
0:45 - 1:25
G C
I got a sheriff's name branded where I should have kept clean.
E C
If you get too close you're going to know what I mean.

And I know when I'm old the only runnin' gonna come.
E C G
Away from lips and the fork of my tongue.

It only gets to me in times like these.
E C G
And times like these are getting to me.

G C
Put your hand in the oven there's a heaven inside.
E C
It burns straight through but the devil don't mind.
G C
Because he takes what he wants and he finds what you hide.
E C G
And it will buy you a place on the Lower East Side. Child
2:25 - 3:04
G C
I rolled a number last night and I walked in my sleep.
E C
I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth.
G C
As they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea.
E C G
Finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think.
3:05 - 3:32
D C
It only gets to me in times like these.
D C
It only gets to me in times like these.
D C
It only gets to me in times like these.
E C
And times like these are getting to me.
