Am C F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
C G
Were all in my mouth
C F Am G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am C F
Turn me back into the pet
C G
I was when we met
C F Am G
I was happier then with no mind set
[Chorus]
G C
And if you'd a took to me like
F C G
A gull takes to the wind
G C
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
F C F C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F C G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
[Verse 2]
Am C F
New slang when you notice the stripes
C G
The dirt in your fries
C F
Hope it's right when you die
Am G
Old and bo..ny
Am C F
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
C G
Never should'a called
C F
But my heads to the wall
Am G
And I'm lonely
[Chorus]
G C
And if you'd a took to me like
F C G
A gull takes to the wind

Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
F C F C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F C G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Am C F
God speed all the baker's at dawn
C G
May they all cut their thumbs
C F
And bleed into their buns
Am G
'Till they melt away
[Chorus 2]
G C
I'm looking in on the good life
F G
I might be doomed never to find
C
Without a trust or flaming fields
F G
Am I too dumb to refine?
C
And if you'd a took to me like
F C F C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F C G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
