Verse 1:
            F                C       F  C
Well this thing that we had built
       F            C      F  C
Was flaying into shreds
         F               C       F  C
It was sharp and it was dry
          F                  C       F  C
Like the hair on a shrunken head

     F              C
And all the king's men
              F            C
Spread the pieces on the floor
         F              C
By the time they fit together
           F                     C
We had forgotten what they were for

    F                     C
Pretending like she's beautiful
           F          C
In the pictures I can see
         F              C
But she only picks the good ones
        F                      C
That's more than I can say for me

Chorus:
      G                  F      C
But that's the way it always starts
               G             F       C
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
         G                F      C
Always making out like bandits
             G             F      C
Until you getaway and it falls apart
     (nc)
It falls apart

Verse 2:
                 F                C       F  C
You're always dressed up like a priest
                  F                 C       F  C
You're always drilling through the wall
               F                C       F  C
Cracking the safe and skipping town
        F             C             F  C
While poor Rosemary takes the fall

                 F               C
You're always looking for the future
  F              C
Rinsing out the dye
                F            C
Looking for a moral to the story
              F                     C
That sounded good and happened to rhyme

    F              C
Rosemary on the gallows
   F                     C
Dressed like nothing's wrong
     F           C
No funeral no flowers
          F         C
For an outlaw in a song

Chorus:
      G                  F      C
But that's the way it always starts
               G             F       C
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
         G                F      C
Always making out like bandits
             G             F      C
Until you getaway and it falls apart
     (nc)
It falls apart

      G                  F      C
But that's the way it always starts
               G             F       C
You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts
         G                F      C
Always making out like bandits
             G             F      C
Until you getaway and it falls apart
     (nc)
It falls apart
