It's my father's voice dreaming of
Em C/G A7 C/G
Sailors sailing off in the morning
G D
For the air-conditioned rooms
Em C/G A7 C/G
At the top of the stairs
G D
His jaw's been broken
Em C/G A7 C/G
His bandage is wrapped too tight
G D
His fangs have been pulled
Em C/G A7 C/G
And I really want to see you tonight
G D
There's bourbon on the breath
Em C/G A7 C/G
Of the singer you love so much
G D Em
He takes all his words from the books
C/G A7 C/G
That you don't read anyway
G D
His jaw's been broken
Em C/G A7 C/G
His bandage is wrapped too tight
G D
His fangs have been pulled
Em C/G A7 C/G
And I really want to see you tonight
G D
Someone ties a bow
Em C/G A7 C/G
In my backyard to show me love
G D
My voice is climbing walls
Em C/G A7 C/G
Smoking and I want love
G D
My jaw's been broken
Em C/G A7 C/G
My heart is wrapped in ice
G D
My fangs have been pulled
Em C/G A7 C/G
And I really want to see you tonight
G D Em G7
And it makes no difference to me
C/G Cm/G G A7
How they cried all over overseas

When it's hot in the poor places tonight

I'm not going outside
