Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:


G+G        E minorEm   D MajorD           C majorC
When Walter went crazy, she was sitting on the couch

G+G      E minorEm    D MajorD       C majorC
Painting her toenails and drinking a Tab

G+G          E minorEm   D MajorD            C majorC
He walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth

G+G              E minorEm   D MajorD       C majorC
And he poured gasoline in a circle all around the house

Verse 2:

G+G         E minorEm  D MajorD             C majorC
When Walter went crazy, he had rattlesnake in his eyes

G+G        E minorEm       D MajorD       C majorC
Blended whisky in his veins and murder in his heart

G+G           E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC
She watched him walk out the door and knew that he was gone

G+G       E minorEm D MajorD         C majorC
Matlock on the TV and her mama on the phone

Bridge:


D MajorD            C majorC           E minorEm
When Walter went crazy, they say that he just snapped

D MajorD                C majorC         G+G
It had gone on for so long, and she wasn't coming back

D MajorD                  C majorC       E minorEm
She hadn't been off the couch in at least a dozen years

G+G        E minorEm   D MajorD            C majorC
Deafened by the silence and the grinding of the gears

Verse 3:


G+G            E minorEm   D MajorD          C majorC
His friends could see it coming like yellow piss on snow

G+G            E minorEm    D MajorD          C majorC
Like a house fire in the distance, like a car crash in slow-mo

G+G            E minorEm   D MajorD             C majorC
His friends could see it coming, but what could some folks do

G+G         E minorEm   D MajorD              C majorC
Speeding down the runway with the brake line's cut in two

Verse 4:


G+G        E minorEm  D MajorD          C majorC
When Walter went crazy the house went up in flames

G+G            E minorEm   D MajorD            C majorC
You could see his hands shaking from the bourbon and the shame

G+G          E minorEm   D MajorD             C majorC
He never planned the ending, he just rolled the credit names

G+G           E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same

G+G           E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same

G+G           E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same
