B5
Come now and listen babe
D5 A5
I gotta reason why I behave
B5
Like a child with a light in eyes
D5 E5 F#5
Running naked on a cold winter night
B5
Like a pigeon that's spreadin' his wings
D5 A5
to fly away to better things
B5
Like a hammer that has made a dent
D5 E5 F#m G
in every little single cent you?ve spent
B G
Said oh God you?ve got to help me a little bit
B
you?ve got to have a relief file for me
B5
Now I know I?m always right, that?s a
D5 A5
thought that never even crossed my mind
B5
Don?t touch me there I?ve gotta be pure
D5 E5 F#m
So smack that hand, and read this verse
B5 D5 A5
So I wrecked your life, what the heck
B5 D5 E5 F#5 Bm G
My new found faith will pay by check
E G Bm G A
This life?s took a toll on my soul
Bm G E G Bm
Oh_______yeah________ this life's took a toll on my soul
G A Bm G E G Bm G A Bm G E G Bm G A G
So this is me and that?s my song
And I guess that you can see that we don?t get along
I?ve shut the doors on what we had
so now she can sleep with her Dear ol? Dad
my eyes are dry and my hands are clean
and I can?t believe all the things I?ve seen
-Chorus-
Oh My God!!
