VERSE 1
Bbaug 
And the  
Abm/A# 
valleys will boil
Bbaug 
Smog-blur 
 
 
Abm/A#

Bitter

In a

cheap wooden  
Ebm7 
kitchen
VERSE 2
Bbaug 
And the  
Abm/A# 
bed’s in the yard
Bbaug 
And the  
Bb7 
stove’s there as well
Bbaug 
Price-tags 
 
 
Abm/A# 
wave in the breeze
 
As he  
Bbaug 
begs her, “Just

VERSE 3
Bbaug 
So she  
Abm/A# 
straightens and smiles
Bbaug 
“I must  
Abm/A# 
go sell the car”
Bbaug 
“If it  
Abm/A# 
rains?” he begins
Bbaug 
She says “It  
Ebm7 
doesn’t”
VERSE 4
Bbaug 
Now he  
Abm/A# 
sits in the fog
Bbaug 
On the  
Bb7 
steps of that home
Bbaug 
Shards of  
Abm/A# 
glass in his knuckles
Bbaug 
So far, no
