^CBetter men have died for less, rats get fat no matter where you've ^Ambeen And ^FSan Antone's a catacomb where ^DmSirens speak the tongue of broken ^Ammen They say your ^Gbody is a credit card, ^Emsell your ass they're sure to get you ^Amwell And if they ^Goffer tainted points, just bleach the ^Emends, add a crack upon your ^Ambelt

[Verse 2]

And it ^Cwasn't all too long ago, crying out in a hospital ^Amgown With a ^Fbandage torn off from the chest and an o^Dmath to stick the landing coming ^Amdown The ^Gboarding house was an easy out, but ^Emit don't help when the noise begins to ^Amtower And ^Gevery second is a minute and every ^Emminute is another endless ^Amhour

[Chorus]

So ^Gswing ^Amlow, sweet ^Gnorthern wind to guide my weary ^Fbones Don't let them ^Gbury me in San ^AmAntone Don't you ^Gbury me in San ^AmAntone

^CPacing an apartment, gifted clothes hang tattered, torn, and ^Amloose How ^Fdeeply green the grass must be as it ^Dmcalls beyond the window of a ^Amnoose And now ^Gcowardice is baring teeth, a ^Emfit of shakes in wait before the ^Amsight So I ^Gonly kill a part of me, the ^Emcost that buys some shelter for the ^Amnight

[Verse 4]

Now ^Cmorning comes with vengeance, taunted by the light now growing ^Amwild ^FBathing in the warmth she brings, a ^Dmkick to shut down weeping like a ^Amchild So ^Gbegin the false bought clarity, the ^Emsummoned strength to labor through the ^Amfight Just to ^Gthumb a stolen wallet and to ^Emstumble towards another endless ^Amnight

[Chorus]

So ^Gswing ^Amlow, ^Gmother misery let the shackles ^Fgo The gift of ^Gease before I die a^Amlone And I ^Gknow I'll die a^Amlone

^CBetter men have died for less, but the ^Grats get fat no matter where you've ^Ambeen
