Capo 2


      Em
Don't tell me that you love me
         G 
I've got nothing left in turn
            Am
Except this empty bag of promises
    C
And second degree burns
       Em
On the tips of my fingers
G    
From touching certain fruit
Am                       B7             Em   
That I never should have touched in the first place


Well the sky's raining fire
But I think I'll go to bed
Because there ain't much you can do
When it burns down on your head
Except pray and beg for mercy
From this hell that you created
On the corner of Satan and St. Paul


Bridge:
Am     B7             Em 
And my cup it runneth over
Am     B7              Em
And it runs down in my eyes
Am         B7           Em 
Maybe when I'm a little older
Am                  B7         Em
I won't tell myself so many lies

Well it took me twenty years
Just to find myself a pen
For to write down all the words
Just to scratch them out again
I could use another twenty years
To fix the last fifteen
But it never seems to work to my advantage

Now I'm walking here on rusted nails
With broken wings and battered sails
I told you that I'm leaving
But I'm probably telling lies
If only I could make it out
To Denver, Colorado
I'd book it out of Satan and St. Paul
