{section: Verse 1}
        The ma[C]ilman brought your l[F]etter, babe, where you t[G]old me how you f[F]eel
        N ab[C]out the things he sa[F]id he told you, that [G]is, I'm such a h[F]eel
        But [C]I could never be h[F]onest that t y[G]ou I've always l[F]ied
        When he s[C]aw me take some o[F]ther hide for a two-wheel pony r[G]ide

{section: Bridge 1}
        Y[F]ou at least might have a[G]sked me
        If the sc[F]ene was really what it s[G]eemed
        But like a qu[C]een ruled [F]by her j[C]ester
        Your c[F]onclusions was est[G]eemed [?]

{section: Verse 2}
        You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done
        N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one
        T really make you happy, satisfy your soul
        Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold

{section: Bridge 2}
        Have you ever seen the truth, therefore
        Have you ever made a try
        Such a thing for you's so impossible
        With them beans all in your eyes

{section: Verse 3}
        Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put
             me down
        N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town
        Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime
        Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time

{section: Bridge 3}
        If this is really what you're thinkin'
        That it's really, really all my fault
        You better find yourself a welder, baby
        '[C]Cause you got l[F]ocked up in your va[G]ult    [Ab]

        [key change to Db]

{section: Verse 4}
        Yeah, you [C#]got your point put o[F#]ver now, it s[Ab]eems you found a m[F#]atch
        B[C#]urn the bridge beh[F#]ind you, babe, slam your d[Ab]oor, throw the l[F#]atch
        I k[C#]now just how you're h[F#]urtin' from your f[Ab]eelings as they b[F#]urn
        I'd l[C#]ike t say I'm s[F#]orry, but it's no longer my conc[Ab]ern

{section: Coda}
[rant over Db-Gb-Ab-Gb to fade]

        So goodbye
        Go on n have a real good cry
        I've found me a brand new high
        She just loves a two-wheel pony ride
        You better get yourself a welder, babe
        Go on, get out of here...
