Lyrics and Chords:
You hAmeard the crickets of the early eve
They lE7urk around the opening in Amtwo's and three's
Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
I'll tE7ake you down to places where we dAmare not speak
The Amred light in the Am7doorway D7says she's armed
But E7boy go try your luck and you Ammight get pass
AmStep into the Am7dwelling of the lD7iger's mouth
E7Peer into the panic for a Amkick and swell
You Amknow you shouldn't Am7be there but it's D7way past bed
There's E7comfort in the fingers of your Amgood intent
You Amknow you shouldn't Am7be there but your D7money's all spent
You've E7got your reputation and your Amgood Dintent
E7Your good iAmntent *instert bass run or "ooh's" here
Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
The shadow of a hunter under your torture
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
You've tainted every moment till death do we part
I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Such a good intent *four measure
AmIt's not enough to hope for the Am7best
D7It's not enough to lie thereE7 on a brace
AmThe liger's on the Am7prowl now you've D7pulled its strings
AmOne false move and soon you're E7playing dice for a...
*measure rest, hit E7 for one beat at the end of the measure then Am. If you listen to
the album version or watch the music video, there are no more words, its sort of a
dance-break; only the bass run and "ooh's," so you can fade out on those or end on
a strum on Am!)-Enjoy!
