Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend

She had no mind to please him
F                               A#
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who say

           Cm
Now i'm reversing down this lonely street
F                                    A#
To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past

And pay it off and keep it sweet

It's sweet like nothing all

It rips the heart out off your body

Now i've taken far too much to think
        F                                A#

Paved my only way home
