[Verse 1]
D             G
She stuck around 'til the money ran out
     D        A
and the good feeling was gone.
     D
She said Wil you're golden,
     G
but I've gotta get going
     D         A      D
and with those words she started moving on!

[Verse 2]
D
Got me six weeks of work
G
Building houses in the sun
D            A
in suburbs without any faces
D                  G
and I'll never see the joy that my handiwork brings
         D        A       D
because I'll be gone before the families move in!


[Verse 3]
D
And I'll pack up my belongings
   G
and head for a town
     D           A
where a name doesn't carry a shiver
     D               G
and I'll find a new job, and there are always other girls
     D     A      D
who can put me in touch with a dealer

 D G D A D G   D A D


[Verse 4]
   D
And you were smoking meth
    G
in a public restroom
   D               A
while I was racking up lines in the sun
     D             G
we both ended up sleeping on the mattress on the floor
       D        A          D
promising to never tell our parents what we'd just done


[Verse 5]
  D              G
I spent some time in bed with a girl
    D
whose name was only whispered
   A
and even then at night.
     D
I was blackened, I was bruised,
      G
and I was almost out of booze
  D             A       D
but I still managed to put up one hell of a fight!


[Verse 6]
   D              G
And she stuck around 'til the bandages came off
  D           A
and I had full use of my hands
     D               G
and one night by the river she said 'I nursed you back to health -
   D       A      D
and that was the extent of my plans (you piece of shit!)

[Verse 7]
   D             G
And now I'm alive, all be it alive and alone
    D          A
with nothing but scars to prove it
     D          G
and my memory fades, but I swear I heard you say
   D        A   D
One day we're gonna finally do it!


[Verse 8]
   D                G
And we're about as welcome here as anywhere else dear,
   D           A
at least this place has no fire or pitchforks.
    D           G
And everywhere we go, you forget that you know
    D        A         D
the meaning of a gold band on an index finger!


[Verse 9]
   D
And I've been blackened, I've been beaten
       G
I've been banned and I've been barred,
  D               A
kissed and kicked in the same heartbeat
    D            G
And I keep coming back like Lucifer's bats
    D           A      D
maybe this time I'll be a little more discreet


[Verse 10]
  D              G
And I'll stick around 'til the money runs out
     D        G
and the good feeling is gone
        D
And I'll say 'Mary you're golden,
      G
But I've gotta get going'
   D           A     D
and with those words I'll start moving on.
