Boy Scout To The End
Bonus Track from "Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied"
Note: As far as I can determine, the lyrics to this song are not yet
available online. I've taken my best shot at them, but the passages in
[brackets] are iffy at best. Maybe you can hear what I couldn't.
If so, post your lyric corrections in the comments section below.

Well, I wanna be where the bands are
|A
I wanna hear that chainsaw noise
|A
But I don't give a damn about your hopes and your dreams
|E
Or what the rest of the world enjoys
|A
Well, I've been chewing razor blades, honey
|A
I've been chasing meat
|A
I've got a Salvation Army bangin' on in my head
|E
And a bucket of bones at my feet
|F#m
And there's nothin' comin' easy
|D
And there's witches in my bed
|A
There's a face in my mind that I just can't place
|E
And I'm haunted by [it, Virginna said]
|A |A
And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend
|A
And I'll kiss goodbye to my evil twin

On my word you can depend, . Boy Scout to the end

|A
Well, I wanna see in your windows
|A
I wanna meet your [gold dust] friends
|A
But I don't give a damn about the money in your bank
|E
On which your happiness all depends
|A
Well, I've been suckin' on dead air, honey
|A
I've been chasin' wind
|A
I've got a hole in my pocket where the sun don't shine
|E
And I'm paranoid [that of a twinned] F#m
And everythin's movin' slowly
|D
Like a [castle] standin' in the mud
|A
Everybody's hangin' out for one last dance
|E
And I'm bringin' them one last [drug]
|A |A
And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend
|A
And I'll kiss goodbye to my evil twin

|A
Well, I don't wanna be in your phone book
|A
Every time you call me I'll be engaged
|A
I don't give a damn if you ever get to know me
|E
Or you're horrified and enraged
|A
Well, I've been swallowin' rusted nails, honey
|A
I've been breakin' teeth
|A
I've got a bag full of tricks even I don't believe
|E
And I'm [a hole in my story] underneath
|F#m
And I'm sick and tired of bein' right
|D
And my heart beats once a day
|A
There's a hole in my head where the rain gets in
|E
And I'm too old to live any other way
|A |A
And I'm tryin' to get better, and I'll be your best friend
|A
And I'll kiss goodbye to my evil twin

I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played
on a recording.
