[Verse 1]
 
Am   Am/E         C              F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
C              G
Were all in my mouth
     C            F            Am   G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am   Am/E    C        F
Turn me back into the pet
   C          G
I was when we met
       C       F            Am   G   G4 G G
I was happier then with no mind set
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                      C  C/G
And if you'd a took to me like
  F    C            G
A gull takes to the wind
            G           C  C/G
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F     C               F           C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F                   C             G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am  Am/E            C          F
New slang when you notice the stripes
C                G
The dirt in your fries
     C                   F
Hope it's right when you die
        Am  G
Old and booony
Am    Am/E          C                F
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
C              G
Never should'a called
    C               F
But my heads to the wall
        Am  G
And I'm lonely
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                      C  C/G
And if you'd a took to me like
  F    C            G
A gull takes to the wind
            G           C  C/G
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F     C               F           C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F                   C             G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

[Verse 3]
 
Am   Am/E         C         F
God speed all the bakers at dawn
             C         G
May they all cut their thumbs
    C                F
And bleed into their buns
          Am   G
Till they melt away
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
G                     C    C/G
I'm looking in on the good life
           F               G
I might be doomed never to find
          G                 C
Without a trust or flaming fields
    F    C       G
Am I too dumb to refine?
               G       C  C/G
And if you'd a took to me like
     F     C               F            C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F                   C             G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
