3-Legged Dog
From the album Milk and Scissors

Intro:
C Ab (x2)

Verse 1:
C        Am
Like a 3-legged dog
         G  E
you've called in sick
C             Am
Sure there's seconds of pleasure
      G       E
but so many  moments of pain

Pre-chorus:
F        C
And you can't snap your fingers
F       C
and you don't talk so straight
F        C
You want to be loved,
            Am     E
but you probably can't make it anyway

Chorus:
F         C
Now the ground is cold (Now the ground is cold)
F           C
and there's no fire around (There's no fire)
F       C
An absence of fire
        Am      E
and you're just co-     old

Verse 2:
C          Am
And I've seen this dog
    G  E
in my sleep
C       Am
He chases my father, too,
     G         E
when he dreams between the sheets

Pre-chorus:
F           C
But we all think it's time for you to
F                   C
quit -- take a last swig of that cabernet
F          C
But, I tell you my friend
      Am   E
I won't forget you

Chorus:
F           C
And the world's not clean (And the world's not clean)
F               C
but they get mad when you're dirty (When you're dirty)
F            C
If you've handled some food,
      Am      E
you better wash     up

Interlude:
G E

Verse 3:
C        Am
Like a 3-legged dog
        G  E
you got three feet
C        Am
You can't walk fast or fuck,
    G       E
but you still get in heat

Pre-chorus:
F     C
You can't wag your ears or
F     C
flap your tail,
F          C
but I still see you wandering
       Am      E
down by the wishing   well

Chorus:
F          C
When the ground was young (When the ground was young)
F        C
and caves were cold,
F           C
you've stayed out all night
          Am    E
and you're just too o-    old

Outro:
