Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 there's two inside of you and they're both gonna be destroyed. F#m C# in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek Bbm G# F#m G#m B you're up against the words you never could dare to speak F#m C# it's your conflict shored up tight Bbm G# F#m C# your heavy steps that follow her steps so light Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 so judy holds punch, cufflinks inside her clenched fist Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 she had a dream of bandages on punch's wrist Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 so she sees punch with a thorn in his hand and says, "stop right there Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 what the fuck are you doing don't you know i care?" hihat break Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 but she hears the bark of a cop and drops to the dirty street Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 "i wonder," punch says, "do you know what at all, what's protecting me?" Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 judy used to hold me like a pencil writing out some change Dsus2 Dsus2 Dsus2 C F riff 1 her cheap philosopher was spare change for brains F#m C# in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek Bbm G# F#m G#m B you're up against the words you never could dare to speak F#m C# it's your conflict shored up tight Bbm G# F#m C# your heavy steps that follow her steps so light
