[Verse 1]

E
Mama don't want me five years old
                               C#m
Mama don't want him five years old
              A                     E
And I was the one who offered him a home

I didn't know then, I didn't know at all
                         C#m
Didn't have a son, after all
                    A                    E
I had a hand-biting sinner at our family dinner
   C#m                  A               E
He tricked me out of my precious family home
C#m           A
   You won it all, boy
          E                  B
You got a street named after you
C#m              A                           E                    B
   You blew your brains out and never said a single word that was true
            C#m
You won the lotto, kid
    A      E
You had it all
                  C#m
Swear you won the lotto
A          E
You had it all


[Chorus]
            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking gambler
                A          B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground

            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking coward
            A              B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground

[Verse 2]
    E           G#5                A5               F#5
You tiny little man I've drawn the line down in the sand
    E                 G#5
You with your crossed fingers
         A5               F#5
Swear to God and shake my hand
    E               G#5
The world is mostly good
A5              F#5
People hope and pray
E                 G#5               A5              F#5
Sometimes it just takes a while for it to look that way

       E            G#5          A5
Pay me back, pay me back, pay me back
G#5 E
You can't-
       E            G#5          A5
Pay me back, pay me back, pay me back
    E
You can't-


[Chorus]
            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking gambler
                A          B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground

            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking coward
            A              B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground


            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking gambler
                A          B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground

            E
You fucking idiot
            C#m
You fucking coward
            A              B      E
You'll burn yourself right to the ground
