Transition: A G*
He ate from the bins in the park
Stayed out with the rats after dark
Never left a trail, never made his mark
When he ate with the rats after dark
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all
Transition
Calling on his friends, never made him sad
Didn't want the things he never had
It only made them feel so bad
For having the things he never had
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all
Transition
BmIf you stay in that box Governight
BmAnd don't get out when it gets lGight
BmThere's not much lost of the secGret life

That's done wrong and it's never done right
Now some more flGowers grow
BmThe corn gets eaGten by a few more crows
BmAnd an old man's Gbox is full of bones
A G* D5
Won't see his footprints in the snow
Sweep my mess away
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave me whole and leave my soul
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
Nothing, I don't need at all

D5Leave me whole and leave my soul
G* Bm
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all
G* D5

The outro is kind of weird, but after the last D5, you switch to A, G*, and then
it's pretty much the intro
over and over until you're on D5 for the last hit.
