As I sit on the edge of this never made bed

    A minorAm      C majorC      FF      C majorC
Old guitar in my lap a new tune in my head

      A minorAm        C majorC       FF       C majorC
There she stands in the doorway just brushin' her hair

It's my beautiful muse in her underwear

As I sit on the end of this dirty old bar

Tryin' to work some things out and not gettin' too far

There's a muse all alone on the other side of town

Sheddin' a tear for the bride and groom

And the tiniest voice starts to bellow and cry

     A minorAm       C majorC     FF       C majorC
It's my finest work yet if today I should die
