C                     F
Little did I know it then

     Am                      G
The pictures on the heads of pins

    C                  F
‘Be easier than living is

G
Easier to watch you die

C                         F
Lost what little luck was left

     Am                    G
It’s not enough to pay the rent

C                     F
Not enough to force repentance

G
Not enough to make you pray

F              G           C        F
And don’t tell me ‘bout the sins of man

Am               G                  C
I’ve felt the sting of God’s right hand

I find him after school in bed
And don’t know if he’s drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day

It’s terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state
