Verse 1:
Am C F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town
C G
Were all in my mouth
C F Am G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am C F
Turn me back into the pet
C G
I was when we met
C F Am G
I was happier then with no mind set

Chorus:
G C
And if you'd a took to me like
F C G
A gull takes to the wind

Well, I'd a jumped from my tree

Hope it's right when you die

And I'm lonely

God speed all the baker's at dawn

May they all cut their thumbs

'Till they melt away

Chorus 2:

I'm looking in on the good life

Without a trust or flaming fields

Am I too dumb to refine?
C

F C F C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F C G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well
