I let

John borrow my truck
C

To pay some bills
F

No middle city, it's barely a town
For grace of pretty,

sat high on his hip, for self -defense.

blue warnings, no nothing suspicious,

F 
candy set in the sea

Did I see shaking in his hands?

Am 
F 
Was I not paying attention?
G 
Am 
Every
F 
Sunday was another doomsday
Am 
He'd say,
F 
last judgment's not far away
Dm 
He talked of it evenly in his blood
C 
He spoke of fire, he spoke of floods

Cause when I'm paying attention
John drove my truck down
F 
Am 
to the square
F 
Thought he would end it all right there
F 
Dm 
He took off his coat,
doused himself in gas
C 
Slid his own throat,
climbed back into the cab
and lit the match
Dm 
E
