[Intro]
Em G C/G (2x)
[Verse 1]
Em G C/G
I remember where I was when I first read
Em G C/G
William Burroughs shot his lover dead
Em G D
Put a highball glass on top of her head
C/G G
And missed
[Verse 2]
Em G C/G
And I wonder if he knew it right then
Em G C/G
Or if it took a while to sink in
Em G D
That he would never come back again
C/G G
Not from this
[Chorus]
D Em C/G
Baby sit still and close your eyes
D Em C/G
It's only the price of a good time
D Em C/G
Baby sit still and close your eyes
D Em C/G
It's only the price of a good time
[Instrumental]
Em G C/G (2x)
[Verse 3]
Em G C/G
Well I heard he hopped a boat to the east
Em G C/G
Lookin' for that opium release
Em G D
And hiding from that final scene
C/G G
With his next fix
[Verse 4]
Em G C/G
And all Jack's horses and Ginsburg's men
Em G C/G
Couldn't put him back together again
Em G D
He was broken by the weight of his sin
C/G G
And his pen
[Chorus]
D Em C/G
Baby sit still and close your eyes
D Em C/G
It's only the price of a good time
D Em C/G
Baby sit still and close your eyes
D Em C/G
It's only the price of a good time
[Outro]
Em G C/G (2x)
