Chords

* always strum once [Intro] A Bm7 D F A A* [Verse 1]
A
Put some lipstick on

              Bm7
At least your lies will be pretty

  D            F
A shadow on my face

       A                  A*
And us donkeys wake up weary

A
Sweating and sickly

        Bm7
Donkeys don't allow their tears

    D            F
No emotion never feel

              A             A*
And drown themselves in whatever
[Chorus]
G    D    F  D  G A
Find some meani-i-ing

G       F      D    G      D        A
Donkeys weight cracking a spi-i-i-i-ine
[Instrumental] Bm7 D F Fmaj7 F A A* [Verse 2]
A
Sweetness bent double

      Bm7
Whole days making polite

      D             F
Never moving out of turn

        A            A*
Or even trying to be natural

A
Woh, those with silence inside

     Bm7
Eyes bare piss holes in the snow

D                 F
Drained and burnt yellow

    A              A*
And sunk in self-pity
[Chorus]
  G D F   D  G   A
Jerusalem sa-awn off

G       F   D    G         D        A
Donkeys are only left with li-i-i-i-ies

         D  A
Are only left with li-i-i-i-ies
