[Intro] C F G C F G C [Verse]
                       F               G     C
She roots out her best earrings with a comb

                          F         G     C
The ones that go with her rowdy red hair

                           F               G      C
Weaves her way between the plastic and the bones

                              F                  G  C
Leaves all her empty evenings hanging in the air
[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl

                           F            G    C
He don't mind that she may soon say goodbye

                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves

         C                 F  G   C    F  G   C
She's as straight as a die
[Verse]
                     F            G      C
She sees the men out changing the state

                             F             G        C
Knows they stoop, though her eyes are half-drowned

                             F            G      C
Hear the steeple say, it's a quarter past eight

                                   F             G     C
Moves on in a hurry, well, she's a long way from town
[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl

                           F             G    C
He don't mind that she may soon make him cry

                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves

         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die

C                 F  G
Straight as a die
[Instrumental] C F G C F G C [Bridge]
                            G
We won't get away from this evil

                   F
No matter how hard we try

    Em                F
The truth is there to catch us

    Em                      F      G   C
The truth is gonna save our lives
[Verse]
                      F         G   C
He's in a thrill of anticipation

                                     F              G     C
So glad he bought something small to give her for a gift

                                   F                      G   C
He feels kind of silly in case she thinks he's having her on

                              F              G     C
All he meant was, she's got a friend she can kiss
[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl

                           F            G    C
He don't mind that she may soon have to fly

                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves

         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die

C                 F  G
Straight as a die

         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die
