Verse:

G#mI cut my teeth on the Bstone of a tF#eenage romanceG#m B F#
G#mI was the salt of the earth, I wasB hard, and the F#last of the independG#ments. B F#
E5And in the breath from myF#5 chest I was G#5blowing kerosene,
E5My lips and fingertips were F#5stone, I wore my G#5heart on my jeans.
E5I sang the blues like the F#5dogs left too lG#5ong in the street,
E5I still sing the F#5blues with the G#5dogs.
EAnd I got half a mind to F#let it all bG#murn up in this fire,
EI've had been burning through my F#veins since I G#mfirst learned to cry.
EI'd watch this whole night come F#down and never mG#miss her again.
EI never felt right and never fF#it in,
Walking in my own skin.

Verse (played the same):
Now I got scars like the number of stars, my head's full of vipers.
I got the dust of the desert in my bones, coming through the amplifiers.
Between the minor chord fall and the fourth and the fifth,
It's a broken Hallelujah and a pain in my fist.
I wash my hands like the man with the blood on his teeth,
Over and over without relief.
And I got nothing for you darling but a story to tell,
About the rain on the pavement and the sound as it fell.
I'd watch this whole night come down and never miss her again.
I never felt right and never fit in.

Chorus
------
When Brian plays this part slowly, he uses the same chord shapes from the verse
(B, F#, G#m), instead of just holding the B chord and changing the root note.
Also, notice the "Say a Prayer for my soul, Senorita" is different on the last go round.
B B/F# B/G#
Walking in my old man shoes, with my scientist heart.
B B/F# B/G#
I got a fever and a beaker and a shot in the dark.
B B/F# B/G#
I need a Cadillac ride, I need a soft summer night,
ESay a prayer for my soulF# Se?orita.
Because I've been G#mdying out F#here in the Ecold and the snow.
I got a G#mpicture of you,F# Mama, to Eremind me of home.
On the G#mhood of a F#Dodge on a ESaturday night,
Say a Bprayer for my soul, F#Se?orita.
