Tom: Am
Am F C G Em F
[Verse]
Am F C
I came down here to sell the drugs you hid beneath your bed
G Em F
I came down here to bend my crooked soul
Am F C
And I wish you'd have the decency to tell me what they said
G Em F
'Cause trouble walks beside me, as you know
[Chorus]
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a fighter, then a fighter I would be
G Em F
But the more I fight, the more I'm fought
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a sailor, I would sail across the sea
G Em F
But the more I dream, the more I know I'm not
[Interlude]
Am F C G Em F
[Verse]
Am F C
The cats upon the rooftops weep, the winter stole the sun
G Em F
The hour'ss come of which the poets feed
Am F C
And I guess that I must stab the eye of someone who's in charge
G Em F
I say; the more I stab, the less I bleed
[Chorus]
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a painter, I would paint the snow all green
G Em F
I'd stroke the sky to cover up the grey
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a waiter, I'd be waiting for the spring
G Em F
'Cause trouble walks beside me everyday
[Interlude]
Am F C G Em F
[Verse]
Am F C
Well, I guess that I could love you even when my heart is faint
G Em F
But I did not come to kiss your broken bones
Am F C
You'll hear the sound of thunder traveling through the wind
G Em F
The whistleblower's come to claim his home
[Chorus]
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a drinker, I would drink away the blue
G Em F
But the more I drink, the thirstier I get
Am C F C
Oh and if I was a runner, I would run my way to you
G Em F
But this trouble's not gonna let me forget
