[Intro]
Dm Am Gm Dm Am Gm Dm
Gm Dm
[Verse 1]
DmColor me once, color me twice
DmEverything gonna turn out nice
GmEverlasting arms, you gotta Gmkeep me from these false alarms
[Verse 2]
DmAlarm, alarm I see you so sad
DmRing, ring I see you, I'm glad
GmMaybe, maybe the Dmfire of her desire
[Verse 3]
DmPatience, patience, said the man
DmPatience, patience, I can't understand
GmPatience like a man to a wife
I got Dmpatience on my neck like a cold, cold knife
[Verse 4]
DmI say Jack be nimble, Jack fall dead
DmJack bend over and give Jilly head
GmOh, you gotta Dmhelp my body heal my soul
[Guitar Solo]
Dm Gm Dm N.C.
[Verse 5]
DmDead men working a sinner, a saint
DmMixing up a pail of paint
GmPainted the house, black as night
DmWhen the sun came up, the house was white
[Verse 6]
DmGotta go on, gotta Amgo on
We gotta Gmgo on, you Dmgotta go on
You Gmgotta go on
AmGo on
GmGo on
DmTry and live life like I couldn't
[Outro]
