VERSE 1
GI grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe
BRIDGE:
EmThey chewed me up
D9they spat me out
Gof their system and onto their street
Gand the rest of my life was sFpent to forget
D9all the greatnessC that could neverG be
CHORUS:
Oh beautifulEm town
I remCember you blacker than theG night
the whores and the siEmck mouths
the Cbad taste and the Gneon lights
Oh beautifuEml town,
where are you Cnow with your binge insecurGities?
I shot you Emdown beautiful towCn
because you tear your chFildren
intoG pieces
VERSE 2
GAbsence twisted with fondness
is the horror I couldn't forget
programmed into great art
of family, lies and debts
BRIDGE 2:
Emtoo much expectatD9ion
Gfollowed by hope and then hate in the mess
Gand the rest of my life was a glForious test
D9of my will and mCy selfish negleGct
CHORUS:
Oh beautifulEm town
I remCember you blacker than theG night
the whores and the siEmck mouths
the Cbad taste and the Gneon lights
Oh beautifuEml town,
where are you Cnow with your binge insecurGities?
I shot you Emdown beautiful towCn
because you tear your chFildren
intoG pieces
VERSE 3:
GOn the floor boards under insolent feet
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents retreat
with a lavender bag in my hand
and words of desperation on my tongue
BRIDGE 3:
Emgoodnight fatD9her, goodGnight mother
Are Fyou still awake? D9 C G
