Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Eddie  boy lit like paraffin spending two weeks in a crack house
 Burns on his brain like Chernobyl
Dean  was seen with a two bag purchase he was lying dead on his mother's bed
 Someone to pray for-till  I met you
Life  is like a broken arrow
memory  a swingin' door
I  could be your great misfortune
I  can make you happy every day of your life
 Making my love  like a shining star
 Taking my love  just a touch too far
 Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice cause love left holes
 And four swell kids breaking her heart
 I've got windows, I've seen much vice, I've touched down with vermin,
 Cowardice, lice,
 And I say
 Nobody cares what you do
 please be yourself to death
 I could be your great misfortune
 But you'll never find a
 bet you'll never find a better man.
 Making my love  like a shining star
 Taking my love  just a touch too far
 Peter met Frank formed a dummy run gang
 Worked heist or hit for 10 g's flat
 Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky,
 Sinn-Fein, Hitler cashdown
 No hope heroes cover this page with depts in hell
 And fingers in blood
 Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
 threw it all away
 Have a life in the grave
 Have a life in the grave
 Life is like a broken arrow
 memory a swingin' door
 I could be your great misfortune
 Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life

Have a life in the grave

Life is like a broken arrow
memory a swingin' door
I could be your great misfortune
Well I could make you happy every goddamn single day of your life
