Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2
[Verse 1]
AbShe was lying on the floor andEb counting stretch marks
Fm7She hadn't been a virgin and Dbhe hadn't been a god
AbSo she names the Ebbaby Elvis
Fm7To make up for the royaDblty he lacked
[Chorus]
AbAnd from then on it was Ebturpentine and patches
Fm7From then on it was cold CDbampbell's from the can
AbAnd they were just two jerks Ebplaying with matches
Fm7Cause that's all they kneDbw how to play
[Instrumental]
Ab Eb Fm7 Eb x2
[Verse 2]
AbAnd it was raining cats and dogs out Ebside of her window
Fm7And she knew they were destined to beDbcome
Sacred road kill on the Abway
And she was listening to the Ebsound of heavens Fm7shaking
Thinking about puddleDbs, puddles and miAbstakes
[Chorus]
Cause it's been Ebturpentine and patches
It's Fm7been cold, coldDb Campbell's from the can
AbAnd they were just two jerksEb playing with matches
CFm7ause that's all they Dbknew how to Gbplay

[Verse 3]
AbElvis never could Ebcarry a tune
Fm7She thought about this irony as sheDb stared back at the moon
AbShe was tracing her Ebyears with her fingers on heFm7r skin
Saying why don'tDb I begin again
AbWith turEbpentine and patches
Fm7With cold, cold DbCampbell's from the can
AbAfter all I'm still a jerk Ebplaying with matches
Fm7It's just that he's not around toDb play along
AbI'm still an assholeEb playing with candles
Fm7Blowing out wishesDb blowing out dreams
AbJust sitting here and Ebtrying to decipher
Fm7What's written in Braille Dbupon my Gbskin...
