  Trade my coat for a gown

Verse 3:

Raisin' nose down to chin

Smoke after smoke, they all trickle in

Anything for anything

And ending up with nothing

B5   A  D
Simple, pimpled young man

  He's sleeping, not so silently
B       A   D
I'll mop the floors for you all
B       A        B  A D5
  I'm that fly on the wall
B        A  C
Really big and listenin'

Burned the hand of a friend of mine

And know, Bub, I know that you could fly a mile high
B5     E          D       A
You told me nothing's ever gonna come between

An' nothing's ever gonna come between
  E          D       A
An' nothing's ever gonna come between
  B5
My dumptruck and me
