F (x2)
Gold
teeth and a curse for this town
C G (x2)
were
all in my mouth.
C F (x2)
Only, I don't know how
Am G
they
got out, dear.
Am (x2) C F (x2)
Turn
me back into the pet that
C G (x2)
I
was when we met.
C F
Am G (x4)
I was happier then with no mind-set.
Chorus:
G (x2) C (x2)

F C G (x2)
Gull takes to the wind.
G (x2) C (x2)

Chorus 2:
G (x2) C (x2)
I'm looking in on the good life I might

be doomed never to find.
G (x2) C (x2)
Without a trust or flaming fields am I
F
C G (x2)
too dumb to refine?
G (x2) C (x2)
And if you'd took to me like
F C
F C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
F C G (x4)
And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.
