D Bm Em A x2
D
You used to get it in your fishnets

Everything's in order in a black hole

Nothing seems as pretty as the past though

The Bloody Mary's lacking her Tabasco

Remember when you used to be a rascal?

My love when you dream them up...

Said she wasn't going but she went still

Likes her gentlemen not to be gentle

Was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil?
