Strum
D-DU-UDU
Drunk  at the bar at last, last call
 my baby’s home  on her night off,
 So I’m involved  in a serious talk
 with a girl  I had known growing up.
 So we buy a six;  decide to split  –
 she has a downtown  apartment.
 She opens the door,  falls to the floor,
 says, “I’m bitter  sick of sweet  and pure, take  me now I’m yours.”
Notes  in his pockets, rumors  in the mill,
phone  calls after the bars  close – unlisted numbers.
 If she only knew,  then he’d be through
 but who knows  which parts are true.
 She hates how it looks,  but what can she do?
 The girls  all talk behind  her back, they say  she’s being used.
 At Sullivan’s  drinking with Justin,
 he says he’s seen  my ex-girlfriend.
 She’s back in town  – and what’s worse
 he knows where  and when she works.
 So we head over  to the Underwood,
 she’s trading shots  with regulars:
 She gives me a hug  ‘til our hips are flush
 says, “Boy,  we’ve hardly kept  in touch – it’s time  for catching up.”
Notes  in his pockets, rumors  in the mill.
Phone  calls after the bars  close – unlisted  numbers.
 Still, he insists  on his innocence;
 says those girls  are all gossips.
 She’s gotta drop the axe  –catch him in the act
 with his shame  around his ankles,  chain the guilt  around his neck.
 from Christoph Whitbeck. You're welcome. <3

She’s gotta drop the [A]axe –catch him in the [Bb]act
with his [Dm]shame around his [Bb]ankles, chain the [Gm]guilt around his [A]neck.
