Indigo Girls - Dirt and Dead Ends

      
 
 DIRT AND DEAD ENDS (Amy Ray)
 
 No Capo
 
                      G       
 You're looking at foreclosure
            D  
 And doing time
                     C            
 And it don't sound good this time
                  G           D    
 They found the meth and the scale,
           C                          
 And the wife that made your life Hell
 
 G         B                   Em 
 All the time you were telling me
           C  
 You were fine
 G  D   C 
 Silly man
 
                G  
 So I got your dog.
          D  
 How is that?
            C                    
 I made it nice, I wrote a check.
              G                D   
 You cut the weeds back on my drive
                      C                   
 Cause you're a good guy deep down inside.
               G              D   
 What makes a boy like you go bad,
               C                    
 What makes a man so lonely and sad,
              G            D  
 That he'd poison all he knows
             C                   
 And in one year, just let it go?
 
 G             B                    Em 
 And all that time you were telling me
           C  
 You were fine
 G      D         C  
 Silly man, silly boy
 
                    G             D   
 It's been you and me on this frontier
                     C              
 Trying not to be suburban pioneers.
                     G  
 Fighting off the pavers
              D      
 And the associations
             C                          
 And the covenants against the trailers.
 
             G               D  
 I remember how we used to laugh
                       C               
 At all those rotten men in "camo" drag
                 G               D  
 With their advantage and their guns
               C                      
 Up the deer stand shooting up a storm
 
 G           B   
 And all the time
                   Em           C  
 You were telling me all those lies
 G         D                 C   
 Silly man, I'm just a silly girl
 
              G  
 There was a time
                           D  
 We could hibernate like bears
            C                  
 But we finally come up for air
         G                         D     
 And everything's all marked and cleared,
                  C             
 Survey flags flying everywhere.
 
                   G 
 Once you said to me
                              D   
 You know, what I'll miss the most
          C                 
 Is just being the only ones
            G                 D 
 With our dirt and our dead ends
         C                
 And no one to turn us in.
 
 Enjoy!
