[Am]It was a half past nothing on a nowhere night
[Am]I had no one to love, I had no one to fight
So I [G]took a walk down [F]Bad News Ave[Am]nue

[Am]I had poison in my pocket and a body in my bed

Well the [Am]sun came up and the ship went down

And [G]that’s when I saw you [F]smiling back at [Am]me [A]
