Verse 1:
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Well the gloom girl sank her teeth into the backbone of the night
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah she passed to me the sweetest tea, the Colorado kind
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA
And her breath filled up the back room where the lonesome man was lost
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
They've sat and tried a thousand times to make her clothes come off
D MajorD A augmentedA A7A7
Oh but this time the walls twisted and I found myself entwined
D MajorD E MajorE
With the gloom girl, true, she sang her blues in the depths of our sweet high
D MajorD A augmentedA A7A7
Said I need a friend, I need a fix and I need to know it's you
BB D MajorD A augmentedA
But I feel like leavin' every season, every changing of the moon.
Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh, gloom girl, deadly delicate
Drag hard just for the hell of it
A augmentedA
I know but I don't
D MajorD
Feel right when you come around
Lips sealed, eyes glued to solid ground
A augmentedA
I know, it's a sad show
D MajorD A augmentedA
But I'll try next time she sees me
D MajorD A augmentedA
To drink her venom dry
D MajorD A augmentedA
And I'll always make it easy
BB D MajorD
For the ones like her to leave me far behind
BB D MajorD
Oh, the ones like her to leave you far behind
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD A augmentedA A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD
A augmentedA D MajorD
Verse 2:
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD A augmentedA
Now some artist paints a portrait of her flower girl back East.
A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD
A augmentedA
Well, she talks in tongues, she bides her time and waits for that one beast
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA
Of her love to track her footsteps, 'cross the world and through the dark
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
D MajorD
To taste your scream, to hear your blood, to rip you all apart
D MajorD A augmentedA A7A7
But out here on the West Coast where the boats pass through all day
D MajorD E MajorE
There's a bus stop girl, her hair it curls and it falls into her face
D MajorD A augmentedA A7A7
And the wind it blew her black dress and her eyes they blew my mind
BB D MajorD
A7A7
But just like you, her bus rolled through and it had no name, it had no time.
Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh, gloom girl, deadly delicate
Split town just for the hell of it
A augmentedA
I know but I don't
D MajorD
See your digits anymore
Spin coins across the kitchen floor
A augmentedA
I know it's a sad show
D MajorD A augmentedA
But I'll try next time I see you
D MajorD A augmentedA
To tame my wicked tooth
D MajorD A augmentedA
And I'll always make it easy
BB D MajorD
For the ones like her that never see you through
