G6                    Csus2
Then they came on me, dragged me 
from the bar,
G6
Still wet from sweat and beer.
Csus2                   G6
I bruise so prettily by men blinded 
by their fear.
Csus2     G6                     
These men Broke my back and made 
       Csus2   Bsus2  Dsus2
me lame.

G6                      Csus2  
Then she said to me,    "I'd 
Bsus2 Asus2
give you everything
   G6                   Csus2  
to make it like before, To make
Bsus2 Asus2
 you love me like you
G6                                
used to, make you love me more."  
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2 G6
She said to me
Your life is large but your mind is 
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
lame
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
Csus2 Bsus2 Asus2  G

(Two guitars are used now. One is 
distorted and plays major chords. 
The other (acoustic)
plays the suspended and sixth 
chords. The tab below shows the 
acoustic guitar's
chords. ie. so if the tab shows G6, 
that is what the acoustic guitar is 
playing.
The distorted guitar is playing G. 
So if the acoustic guitar is playing
 Csus2,
the distorted guitar plays C. etc.)

G6
                I can't believe my 
eyes
G6                               
I can't believe my eyes, When I 
Csus2  Bsus2 Asus2  G6
see the truth
and all the things I've done.   And 
    Csus2  Bsus2 Asus2  G6
every place I'm queer.
                          Csus2 
I never stay I run. I know now 
Bsus2 Asus2 G6
why I live in shame
Csus2 Bsus2 Dsus2
