G                             C
I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe
             D                         C                  G       G*
He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"

G                         C
I beg your pardon I'm not looking for a cure
       D                          C                    G    G*
Seen enough of my friends in the depths of the god-sick blues

          Am      G             Am       G
You know I am a liar   You know I am a liar
      Am          C   G*
Nobody helps a liar

       G                                    C
‘Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
          D                   C            G       G*
Tripped upon the land until enough was enough
         G                      C
I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
           D               C             G       G*
I was a little drunk and looking for company
     G                                   C
So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
          D                    C             G       G*
We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again


             Am      G                 Am      G
We build ourselves a fire We build ourselves a fire
            Am     C   G*              Am      C   G*
You know I am a liar        You know I am a liar
          C-       C/B-        Am    G*
And you don't know what I've done

    G                        C
And by the rolling river is exactly where I was
              D                 C           G  G*
There was no snake or cure for unlucky in love

      G                          C                             D
To be lonely is a habit like smokin’ or taking drugs and I've quit them both
     C            G    G*
But man, was it rough

         Am   G            Am      G
Now I am tired   It just made me tired
                 Am      C    G*
Let's build ourselves a fire
                 Am      C     G*
Let's build ourselves a fire
