When Walter Went Crazy

G                Em     D                      C
When Walter went crazy, she was sitting on the couch
G            Em       D              C
Painting her toenails and drinking a Tab
G                    Em      D                       C
He walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth
G                           Em     D              C
And he poured gasoline in a circle all around the house

[Verse 2]

G                 Em    D                         C
When Walter went crazy, he had rattlesnake in his eyes
G               Em              D             C
Blended whisky in his veins and murder in his heart
G                     Em              D                C
She watched him walk out the door and knew that he was gone
G              Em  D                  C
Matlock on the TV and her mama on the phone

D                       C                     Em
When Walter went crazy, they say that he just snapped
D                               C                 G
It had gone on for so long, and she wasn't coming back
D                                   C             Em
She hadn't been off the couch in at least a dozen years
G               Em      D                       C
Deafened by the silence and the grinding of the gears

[Verse 3]

G                        Em     D                   C
His friends could see it coming like yellow piss on snow
G                        Em       D                    C
Like a house fire in the distance, like a car crash in slow-mo
G                        Em      D                         C
His friends could see it coming, but what could some folks do
G                 Em     D                            C
Speeding down the runway with the brake line's cut in two

[Verse 4]

G                Em    D                    C
When Walter went crazy the house went up in flames
G                       Em      D                        C
You could see his hands shaking from the bourbon and the shame
G                    Em      D                         C
He never planned the ending, he just rolled the credit names
G                     Em             D                   C
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same
G                     Em             D                   C
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same
G                     Em             D                   C
The lights came up we all went home, but never quite the same
