Last Straw
Jacks Mannequin
Text File
G C Am
I heard that you went out last night and you looked beautiful
C G C
Just like a bat beneath the moonlight. I stayed home took a Vicodin...
Am C G
Sometimes it's all that I can do when I think about the president
C Am C
How did he become the president?
G C
And I stayed awake for a day or two,
Am C
I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news
G C Am
And there are some things I'll never understand
C G
Why a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man
Chorus
F C F
And you never write me letters
F C F
And you never sent my sweaters
F C F
So I could stay warm when I was without you
F C
Without you I don't sleep, Just dream...
G C
And I scratch these words into a black notebook
Am C
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look
G C
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere
Am C
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear
F Am C F
I see Arizona stars from here....But Peter Pan is miles away
F C F
And you never write me letters
F C F
And you never sent my sweaters
F C F
So I could stay warm when I was without you
F
Without you I don't have...
C F C
A place that's safe from all the monsters
F C
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep
F
This is the last straw...
F C G
This is the last straw she said
F
And I won't wait for you forever
C
While you run around like JFK
G
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life
F C
And I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way
F C F
And you never write me letters
F C F
And you never sent my sweaters
F C F
So I could stay warm when I was without you
F
Without you I don't have...
C F C
A place that's safe from all the monsters
F C
That hide in my head and keep me 'til dawn
F
I think.... this is the last straw.
