Lyrics:

Intro

(riff1)

E5 D5 C5

Since you're aware of the consequences

E5 D5 C5

I can pimp what's left of this wreck on you

E5 D5 C5

Bit into a rotten one, now didn't you?

(riff2)

Em D5(2) C/G

Now I can watch you chew (chew) (chew)

Em D5(2) C/G

Now I can watch you chew

intro

(Riff1)

E5 D5 C5

Did you have blinders on my dear Or were you just willing?

E5 D5 C5

Or was I unaware of the damage a lie can do?

(riff2)

Em D5(2) C/G

I thought you knew (knew) (knew)

Em D5(2) C/G

I thought you knew

(riff3)

E5(2) F#5 G5

Listen up

E5(2) F#5 G5

Drive it off

E5(2) F#5 G5 E5(2) F#5 G5

Punctuate it with a smo-----ker's cough

E5(2) F#5 G5

Light it up

E5(2) F#5 G5

Stick around

E5(2) F#5 G5 E5(2) F#5 G5

I told you somebody's go-----ing down now

Riff4 x3

(Riff3)

E5(2) F#5 G5

-

E5(2) F#5 G5

Spit it up

E5(2) F#5 G5

Get it out

E5(2) F#5 G5

Let me kiss that beautiful mouth

(riff1)

E5 D5 C5

Tell me is it the same? My sweetness, my everything

E5 D5 C5

And is this condescending a comfort at all to you?

E5 D5 C5

We bit into a rotten one Now didn't we?

(Riff2)

Well, baby now it's through

That's all folks...
