	        Intro: F  Dm  F  Bb  F  Dm  F  

F           Dm           C                     Bb 
Tires won't work cause there's nothing left of them 
F            Dm                 F 
A fire won't burn in this cold day 
F                Dm           C             Bb 
Before you know there'll be nothing of my skin 
F                        Dm                        F 
Before you sail out, why would you be luckless tonight? 

F        Dm           C            Bb 
Tell me why there is water in the gin 
F          Dm            F 
Tell me why I keep fighting 
F           Dm           C                      Bb 
And fires don't burn out, we just make them overdone 
F               Dm               F 
The cats won't sing for you anymore 

F           Dm       C           Bb 
Before you come and fuck it up again 
F          Dm            F 
Before I speak as the idiot 
F           Dm           C                Bb 
Before you know there'll be nothing of my skin 
F                             Dm                    F 
Before you sail out, why would you be luckless tonight? 

Dm                Bb           F 
Why would you be luckless tonight? 
Dm                Bb           F 
Why would you be luckless tonight? 
Dm            Bb  Dm  C  Bb  F 
Why would you be?
