Verse 1: E D I'm bringing back ghosts D E That are no longer there E D I'm getting hard on myself D E Sitting in my easy chair A Well, there's three people in the mirror G E And I'm wondering which one of them i should choose E A Well, I can't keep from laughing G E Spitting out these 300 mile per hour out-pour blues
Verse 2: E D I'm breaking my teeth off D E Trying to bite my lip E D There's all kinds of red-headed women D E That I ain't supposed to kiss A And it's that color that never fails G E To turn me blue E A So I just swallow it and hold on to it G E And use it to scare the hell out of you Verse 3: E D I have a woman D E 'Says come and watch me bleed E D And I'm wondering just how I can do that D E And still give her everything that she needs A Well, there's three people in my head that have the answer G E And one of them's got to be you E A But you're holding tight to it -- the answer G E Singing these three hundred mile per hour out-pour blues Verse 4: E D Put on gloves, a tied scarf and wrap up warm D E On this winter night E D Every-time you get defensive D E You're just looking for a fight A It's safe to sing somebody out there's got a problem G E With almost anything you'll do E A Well, next time they stab you don't fight back just play the victim G E Instead of playing the fool E D And the roads are covered with a million D E Little molecules E D Of cigarette ashes and the school floors are covered D E With pieces of pencil eraser too A Well sooner or later the ground's gonna be holding all G E Of my ashes too E A But i can't help but wonder if after I'm gone will i still have these three hundred mile per G Hour, finger breaking, no answers making, battered dirty hands, bee stung and busted up, empty E Cup torrential out pour blues E D One thing's for sure: in that graveyard D E I'm gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes
