DO FA SOL FA
Some words are best not spoken, some things are best not said
DO FA
But since this is your public execution I think I'm gonna go right on
G [w/12-string, as above]
ahead
Verse 1:
DO FA SOL FA
The mailman brought your letter, babe, where you told me how you feel
DO FA SOL FA
N about the things he said he told you, that is, I'm such a heel
DO FA SOL FA
But I could never be honest that t you I've always lied
DO FA SOL
When he saw me take some other hide for a two-wheel pony ride
Bridge 1:
FA SOL
You at least might have asked me
FA SOL
If the scene was really what it seemed
DO FA DO
But like a queen ruled by her jester
FA SOL
Your conclusions was esteemed [?]
Verse 2:
You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done
N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one
T really make you happy, satisfy your soul
Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold
Bridge 2:
Have you ever seen the truth, therefore
Have you ever made a try
Such a thing for you's so impossible
With them beans all in your eyes
Verse 3:
Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put
me down
N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town
Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime
Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time
Bridge 3:
If this is really what you're thinkin'
That it's really, really all my fault
You better find yourself a welder, baby
(C) FA SOL SOL#
'Cause you got locked up in your vault

Verse 4:
DO# FA# SOL# FA#
Yeah, you got your point put over now, it seems you found a match
DO# FA# SOL# FA#
Burn the bridge behind you, babe, slam your door, throw the latch
DO# FA# SOL# FA#
I know just how you're hurtin' from your feelings as they burn
DO# FA# SOL#
I'd like t say I'm sorry, but it's no longer my concern
Coda: [rant over Db-Gb-Ab-Gb to fade]
So goodbye
Go on n have a real good cry
I've found me a brand new high
She just loves a two-wheel pony ride
You better get yourself a welder, babe
Go on, get out of here...
