Intro:
Am
Back in the summer of '91
E
An angel with a lizard's tongue
AmEE7
Was screming for a holy broken nose
Am
Linked to every class of men
E
Sprung out from the sparkling sins
AmE
Leaning on the cold electric stove
Chorus 1:
X AmEAm
On a country road I swerved to the side
X AmEAm
Trying to avoid a country bumpkin
X AmEAm
Everyone's in line to meet with the man
X AmEAm
Who blatantly inspired his generation
Bridge 1:
Dm
When they shake his hand and their fingers explode
E
Breaking both our necks by the tips of our toes
GAm
Then they turn to me, cause you died I suppose
E
But I can't seem to glance fast enough to be sure
Chorus 2:
X AmEAm
Back to summer days, cold hands on the beach
X AmEAm
Memories of thrills designed to please you
X AmEAm
Down the fragrant path I strayed towards the bath
X AmEAm
Suddenly I lived to learn to feed you
Bridge 2:
Dm
Down on bended knee, where I've been for a while
E
Set the record straight in the old fashioned style
GAm
Never took too much, though I should have made more
E
You are still my friend, though you were not before
X AmEE7 x2
X Am
