[Verse 1]
A C#m D A
Well the gloom girl sank her teeth into the backbone of the night
A C#m D A
Yeah she passed to me the sweetest tea, the Colorado kind
D A D A
And her breath filled up the back room where the lonesome man was lost
D A E
They've sat and tried a thousand times to make her clothes come off
D A A7
Oh but this time the walls twisted and I found myself entwined
D E
With the gloom girl, true, she sang her blues in the depths of our sweet high
D A A7
Said I need a friend, I need a fix and I need to know it's you
B D A
But I feel like leavin' every season, every changing of the moon.
[Chorus]
D
Oh, gloom girl, deadly delicate
Drag hard just for the hell of it
A
I know but I don't
D
Feel right when you come around
Lips sealed, eyes glued to solid ground
A
I know, it's a sad show
D A
But I'll try next time she sees me
D A
To drink her venom dry
D A
And I'll always make it easy
B D
For the ones like her to leave me far behind
B D
Oh, the ones like her to leave you far behind
A C#m D A A C#m D

[Verse 2]
A C#m D A
Now some artist paints a portrait of her flower girl back East.
A C#m D A
Well, she talks in tongues, she bides her time and waits for that one beast
D A D A
Of her love to track her footsteps, 'cross the world and through the dark
D A E D
To taste your scream, to hear your blood, to rip you all apart
D A A7
But out here on the West Coast where the boats pass through all day
D E
There's a bus stop girl, her hair it curls and it falls into her face
D A A7
And the wind it blew her black dress and her eyes they blew my mind
B D A7
But just like you, her bus rolled through and it had no name, it had no time.
[Chorus]
D
Oh, gloom girl, deadly delicate
Split town just for the hell of it
A
I know but I don't
D
See your digits anymore
Spin coins across the kitchen floor
A
I know it's a sad show
D A
But I'll try next time I see you
D A
To tame my wicked tooth
D A
And I'll always make it easy
B D
For the ones like her that never see you through
[Outro]
B D
