 I did a sick,  sick thing  to my love.
 My lack of loyalty,  it swallowed  her up.
 And she cooks me food.
 She squirmed and turned  like a skeleton  key.
 She left her man  unattended  to me.
 Don't call me that.
 Don't claim you love  me
 cause  you know that ain't  true.
 My dire affliction  a tribute  to you
 And you're finally free
 to twist and turn  like a skeleton  key.
 You've gotta let me know.
 You've gotta let me know.
 I did a horrible  thing  to that girl.
 I bread my misery  and drowned  it in her.
 And she got me high,
 And I hardly noticed  there were tears  in her eyes.
 And I miss you less  and less  everyday.
 This stream of whisky  helps to wash  you away.
 And it's clear to see,
 You're nothing special.
 You're a skeleton  key.
  A (played with "Riff A")(see below)
 You've gotta let me know.
  A (player with "Riff A")
 You've gotta let me know.
  A (player with "Riff A")
 You've gotta let me know.
  A (player with "Riff A")
 You've gotta let me know.
 Whooo!
