Tails Facing Up

G                                 
Me and my brother's old lady went 
            Cadd9
out and got stinking,
she solved her curiosities about me 
                D
by the railroad tracks.
    G                         
She said I reminded her of him 
                   Cadd9
before he started drinking
    G                      D   
and banging the babysitter every 
                      G
time she turned her back.


Cadd9                             
We opened up the sunroof and 
            G
smoked a big ole joint
    G
and drank a case of Pabst Blue 
Ribbon
listening to the crickets and 
D
trains.
Cadd9                         
Every so often she'd lapse into 
           G        Cadd9
narcotic rambling.

Moon and mascara.         I've 
Asus2             Cadd9
always been a holy terror.
Asus2               G     Cadd9
Temptations lurking every where.
        Asus2                 
If your mind's in the gutter, 
Cadd9
Beware!
               G
You'll find me there.


G                                 
Me and a friend were talking after
     Cadd9
 the funeral.
She said it should have been me but 
          D
I'm still around
    G                              
and I been so wild, I'm surprised I
                Cadd9
 made it to the seventh grade,
    G                   D         
and all my dead friends have 
   G
settled down.


Cadd9                             
My eyes were puffy and she asked 
           G
if I'd been crying.
        G                          
I said 'tears are for pussies' but 
          D
who was I kidding.
Cadd9                             
So we stopped at the bar and drank
      G        Cadd9
 them dry.

Beer and tequila.         I've 
Asus2             Cadd9
always been a thrill seeker.
Asus2             G            
But thrills are a dime a dozen these
Cadd9
 days.
      Asus2                      
And I found a dime in the gutter 
Cadd9
today.
Asus2                  G          
Tails facing up. Still fucking up.
 Cadd9
 Still fucking up.
G                                 
A funny thing happened on my way 
                   Cadd9
to a strange way of thinking.
