[Verse 1]
           C    D      C  D
Praise the neon lights
               C          D   C  D
The store's not closed up yet
         C         D      C  D
Now everything's alright
            C    D
So get your cigarettes

[Verse 2]
         C        D      C  D
Leave me with the house
         C        D     C  D
Leave me with the kids
         C    D     C  D
Leave me to myself
                C      D
That's what you always did


[Chorus]
        G                          D
And I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion
C                    
Poison in the blood
G
Freight train in your head
    C
Someone is gonna fight
        G              D
Someone always ends up dead

[Verse 3]
             C     D    C  D
You threaten every day
             C        D    C  D
So pack your bags and run
                C   D    C  D
Train lines run all day
          C       D 
No matter moon or sun


[Chorus]
        G                          D
And I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion
C                    
Freight train in your head
G
Poison in your blood
          C
Someone's looking for a fight
          G                D
Someone's looking for some love


[Interlude]

[Bridge]
                G                 A
Blame it on the ones who hold you down
                G                A
Blame it on the ones who let you down
              G                          A
Smoke up your cigarettes from the corner store
    G               F       G       D
The cowardly lion's got one helluva roar


[Chorus]
        G                          D
And I'm sleeping with the cowardly lion
     G                          D
I am sleeping with the cowardly lion
C                    
Freight train in your head
G
Poison in your blood
          C
Someone's looking for a fight
          G                D
Someone's looking for some love

For some love
