Verse:
Progresison: C Am Em F G
C Am Em
never could be still for long
F G C
and i could never hold a job
Am Em
coupled with a weakness for cocaine and liquor
F G C
not much you can do for love
Am Em
when i met you i broke the mold
F G C
i fell apart and combed my hair
Am Em
whiskey shakes for ten whole days
F G C
stay off the streets at night for weeks
Chorus:
C E F G C E F G
i don't wanna be your catholic pagan now that you're here
C E F G C E F G
we're counting on each other for love, survival, and everything else
Verse:
please don't padlock your parent's bomb shelter
or fill her up with dust and ash
a landfill mecca for burnouts
and listless adolescent sour mash
i'm not saying that i've earned love
but i could really use it now
so turn out the lights over and over and over
we'll figure out the rest somehow
Chorus:
i don't wanna be your russian bride not anymore
barack hussein obama would have a field day if he knew at all
C E F G C E F G
soooooo we have to go
C E F G
have to go

Never could
Be still for long
And I could never hold a job.
Coupled with
A weakness for cocaine and liquor
Not much you can do for love.
When I met you,
I broke the mold.
I fell apart and combed my hair.
Whiskey stinks
For ten whole days
Stayed off the streets at night for weeks.
I don't wanna be a catholic pagan
Now that you're here.
We fell in awe each other for love,
Survival, and everything else.
Please don't padlock
Your parents' bomb shelter,
Or fill her up with dust and ash.
A landfill mecca
For burnouts and whistlers,
Adolescent sour mash.
I'm not saying
That I'm unloved,
But I could really use it now.
So turn out the lights
Over and over and over,
We'll figure out the rest somehow.
I don't wanna be your rush-in bride,
Not anymore.
But I could say
Apollo would have a field day if he knew at all.
Sooo, I have to gooo...
Ohhhh, have to goooo...
