 F              Dm
Now is time to take recourse

    F                   Dm
To drag my bones from 'neath his corpse

   F                Dm
Retract the blade within his heart

   Bb                 C
Inscribe our initials in the bark

     F                  Dm
Of every tree in every woods

    F                  Dm
In ink red blood, can you imagine?

         F             Dm
While wearing his head as a hood

     Bb               C
I'd take life for a crime of passion

 F        Dm
Lies told

 F        Dm
Lies told

 F        Dm
Lies told

 Bb       C
Lies told
F
   F          Dm
Darling, if I had the choice

       F           Dm
I'd excavate his throat of voice

       F           Dm
And corrugate his vocal chords

    Bb              C
To play a tune to please the Lord

      F                Dm
Make him recite this murder ballad

    F              Dm
A sombre tune told by a bore

       F               Dm
Pump blood around the limp and pallid

  Bb        C    
Harmonising as you snored

 F        Dm
Lies told

 F        Dm
Lies told

 F        Dm     x2
Lies told

 Bb       C
Lies told
Gm
                  Gm
One day when I'm older

                  Gm
I'll write it all down

                        Gm
A portrait of the trequartista as a young man
Bb C Dm C x2
Bb                  C
We all know we're gonna die

         Dm                 C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye

    Bb                 C                   x2
He rubs us clean, but love is blind

    Dm                     C
A balloon artist kisses porcupine

F                  Dm              
We all know we're gonna die

         Bb                 C
We're a speck of dust in a bad God's eye

    Bb                 C
He rubs us clean, but love is blind

    Dm                     C      Bb
A balloon artist kisses porcupine
