I Never Told You What I Do for a Living

Intro: B  E  G  Gb 

Verse:
                B 
Stay out of the light
                          E 
Or the photoghraph that I gave you
                            G 
You can say a prayer if you need to
                              Gb 
Or just get in line and I’ll grieve you
                B 
Can I meet you alone
                       E 
Another night and I’ll see you
                       G 
Another night and I’ll be you
                  Gb 
Some other way to continue
   Gb 
To hide my face

Pre-chorus:
B 
Another knife in my hands
E                           G 
a stain that never comes off the sheets
G 
Clean me off
Gb 
I’m so dirty babe
B                           E 
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
G                              Gb 
I keep a book of the names and those

Chorus:
G      Gb 
Only go so far
         B  Db  G 
Till you bury   them
   G        D 
So deep and down we go

Verse 2:
B 
Touched by angels though
E 
I fall out of grace
G 
I did it all so maybe
Gb 
I’d live this everyday

Pre-chorus:
B 
Another knife in my hands
E                           G 
a stain that never comes off the sheets
G 
Clean me off
Gb 
I’m so dirty babe
B                         E 
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
G                                Gb 
It's for the bodies I claim and lose

Chorus:

Only go so far

Till you bury   them

So deep and down we go

Down……
And down we go…
And down we go…
And down we go…
And we all fall down
I tried… I tried…
          G          A 
And we’ll all dance along
       B    A        G 
To the tune of your death
           G 
And we’ll love again
       A 
We’ll laugh again
         B      A        G 
And it’s better off this way

G 
We’ll never again,
A 
And never again
B 
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
A          G    A     B    A 
And we’re all dead now (x2)
G  A  B   G  A  B 
I tried…
G               A
One more night, one more night
         B             A           G
Well I'm laughing out, crying out, laughing out
G       A            B 
I tried well I tried well I tried
         G            A      B 
Cuz I’ve tried but I lied, I lied

G  A  B 
I tried…   (x4)
       G 
And we love again
    A 
We laugh again
      B 
We’ll cry again
          A 
And we’ll dance again
         G 
And it’s better off this way
        A 
So much better off this way
B 
I can’t clean the blood off the sheets in my bed

They gave us two shots to the back of the head
          G    A     B 
And we’re all dead now
