F Dm x4
F Dm
Now is time to take recourse
F Dm
To drag my bones from 'neath his corpse
F Dm
Retract the blade within his heart
Bb C
Inscribe our initials in the bark
F Dm
Of every tree in every woods
F Dm
In ink red blood, can you imagine?
F Dm
While wearing his head as a hood
Bb C
I'd take life for a crime of passion
F Dm
Lies told
F Dm
Lies told
F Dm
Lies told
Bb C
Lies told
F
F Dm
Darling, if I had the choice
F Dm
I'd excavate his throat of voice
F Dm
And corrugate his vocal chords
Bb C
To play a tune to please the Lord
F Dm
Make him recite this murder ballad
F Dm
A sombre tune told by a bore
F Dm
Pump blood around the limp and pallid
Bb C
Harmonising as you snored
F Dm
Lies told
F Dm
Lies told
F Dm x2
Lies told
Bb C
Lies told
Gm
Gm
One day when I'm older
Gm
I'll write it all down
Gm
A portrait of the trequartista as a young man
Bb C Dm C x2
Bb C
We all know we're gonna die
Dm C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye
Bb C x2
He rubs us clean, but love is blind
Dm C
A balloon artist kisses porcupine
F Dm
We all know we're gonna die
Bb C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye
Bb C
He rubs us clean, but love is blind
Dm C Bb
A balloon artist kisses porcupine
