D G
poetry has no place for a heart that's a whore
D
and i'm young and i'm strong
G
but i feel old and tired

over fired
and i've been poked and stoked

it's all smoke, there's no more fire
A
only desire
Em
for you, whoever you are
D

D G
you say my time here has been some sort of joke

that i've been messing around

some sort of incubating period

but i'm cracking up
A
and you have no idea
Em D
no idea how it feels to be on your own
Em
in your own home

with the fucking phone

and the mother of gloom

in your bedroom
Em
standing over your head
A
with her hand in your head
D
with her hand in your head

when all i wanted was to be good

to do everything in truth
D
to do everything in truth
D G
oh i wish, i wish, i wish i was born a man
D G
so i could learn how to stand up for myself
D
like those guys with guitars
G
i've been watching in bars
D G
who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
A D
to a different beat, to a different beat
D G
i will not pretend

to do everything in truth

version 2
Chords:
D - XX0232 G/D - XX0797 A/D - XX09119 Em9(no 5th) - xx2032-|
G5 - 3x0033 G5(1) - 3X0032 Em9 - 022032 A -x03330---------|
This song isn’t nearly as hard as these chords would make out, but since there are so
poorly tabbed versions out there, I thought I’d throw mine into the mix which is certainly
bit more accurate.
For the D and G/D chords that open the song and are repeated throughout, you need to
the first finger onto the middle G string, listen for the timing.
So you are going from this: xx0032 ...to this: xx232. And then this:
....to this: xx0797.
The only other thing to note is that she alternates between using the G5 and the G5(1)
as I have labelled it above, so just listen for which is used where.
