[INTRO] Bb Dm C F x4 [Verse 1]
Bb           Dm                        F                C
May I have a moment please, before the guillotine, to lament on her wet hair

Bb              Dm                        F                C
Tousled over her left shoulder wearing a Corfu t-shirt she took as her nightwear

Bb                 Dm                        F                    C
I could slip on my own salt sobs seeking the cold embrace of the fridge freezer aisle

Bb                 Dm                        F                    C
Catwalk into the dog pound, now with my flesh wounds dressed to spring-summer style
[Chorus]
Bb           Dm
For whom the belly tolls

            F                     C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold

Bb           Dm
For whom the belly tolls

            F                    C
For who all time ticks by until one joke becomes old
[Verse 2]
Bb              Dm                        F                C
There is beauty in the world, I've been told by people I've nothing but trust in

Bb                 Dm                        F                   C
Piled up with the cotton buds, among the toothpicks, inside the dark of the dustbin

Bb                 Dm                        F                      C
Waited outside of "Jersey Boys" for what seemed like a year, a life lived in the vestibule

Bb                 Dm                        F                  C
Scout yourself as a one-man team, you're a one club man denied a testimonial
[Bridge]
Gm              F
(No knot in the waistband)

F
Persuade me to give up and leave quietly

Gm             F
(No reason to grandstand)

F
File me alongside the obscene

Gm
It's 7:20 Monday morning

F
I look to the man with no suit for a warning

   Gm
If open to reason/collusion

        F
May the way that I go be regrettable, gruesome

   C                                              Bb     Dm    C   F
In exchange for one thing: "I beg do not take me today"

F                       Bb       Dm       C        F
Babbling "please let me stay"
[Chorus]
Bb           Dm
For whom the belly tolls

            F                     C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold

Bb           Dm
For whom the belly tolls

For who all time ticks by until one joke becomes old

Bb           Dm
For whom the belly tolls

            F                     C
For who the tap drips dry and the bath water runs cold

For whom the belly tolls
