Song: Piledriver Waltz
[Verse]
E
I etched the face of a stopwatch
C#m
On the back of a raindrop
G# A
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.
E C#m
I heard an unhappy ending it sort of sounds like you're leaving
G# A E
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
[Chorus]
A F#m C#m
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
A F#m C#m
And sat in a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
A B E G#
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
A B
If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable
shoes.
[Verse]
E C#m G#
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of
A
the questionnaire never changes.
E C#m
I heard the news that youre planning to shoot me out of a cannon.
G# A E
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
[Chorus]
A F#m C#m
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
A F#m C#m
And sat in a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
A B E G#
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
A B
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable
B7
shoes.
E C#m G# A
Ooooh Piledriver
