Dm Am7
Dm Am7 G
[Verse]
DmI'm putting your patience to the Am7test
DmI'm putting your body on the Am7line, for Gless
DmAnd didn't you know there was a Am7choice?
DmIt's never yours but someone Am7else's Gvoice
G Gm
DmSellin' your body to the sAm7treet
DmI'm sending your girlfriends to the Am7night, for Gcheap
DmWearing a jacket made of Am7meat
DmSealing a letter made with Am7horse's Gfeet
And Gnow you've Gmheard that
[Chorus]
DmWaves turn to Ggrey
DmLife in the Gshade
A Dmviolent Gcrime
And Dmthat's the USGA
DmPlatinum's on the Grise
DmPlayboys in the Gsky
DmI'm just trying' to Gfind...
A Dmmountain I can Gclimb.
