F#5
One more crime only way you ever knew it
N.C. One more time got a feeling that you blew it
       B5*  A5* F#5*
It's a long way down

F#5
One last line put the blame on someone else
N.C. Now you dug your own well, put the poison in yourself
       B5*  A5*   F#5*
And my head hangs down

A5*
Got a pain in my brain, you is just a migraine

B5* 
Won't you shut my mouth for another day cause you see
[Chorus]
           F#5      E5    A5
If a had a cent for every time

    A5   B5         F#5
you went across the line

          F#5     E5     A5
Of what's appropriate or not

           A5      B5     F#5
I'd be the richest guy in town
[Verse 2]
F#5
One last time and you're gonna power thru it
N.C. Moan, bitch, wine then you come back and I knew it
       B5*  A5*   F#5*
It's a long way down

F#5
Tongue still split now you're burning through the pack
N.C. I could always spot you friends by the daggers in the back
       B5*  A5*   F#5* 
And my head hangs down

A5* 
What is this?, Monkey biz, I have had enough of this

B5* 
Won't you shut my mouth for another day cause you see
[Chorus]
           F#5      E5    A5
If a had a cent for every time

    A5   B5         F#5
you went across the line

          F#5     E5     A5
Of what's appropriate or not

           A5      B5     F#5
I'd be the richest guy in town

           F#5      E5    A5
If a had a cent for every time

    A5   B5         F#5
you went across the line

          F#5     E5     A5
Of what's appropriate or not

           A5      B5     F#5
I'd be the richest guy in town
