[Verse 1]
Em
Was standing in line at the equestrian mart
Em
Looks like it’s about to rain
Em
I got two small kids and I’m late on the rent
       G        Am           Em
Wife’s dead two weeks to the day
G                     Am                Em
Dead two weeks to the, two weeks to the day
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Well, the sun came out but it was cold as hell
Em
My fingers were as numb as my mind
Em
When my quarter horse Reg kicked me in the head
            G           Am        Em
While I was shoeing him up from behind
G               Am                    Em
Shoeing him up, shoeing him up from behind
 
[Chorus]
E7                             Am
  But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      E7                    Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, Ah
 
[Verse 3]
Em
Melanie lives at the house next down
Em
Got a head full of auburn curls
Em
I seen her standing in the mud with a baseball glove
G               Am    Em
Spitting at the other girls
G                Am                    Em
Spitting at the, spitting at the other girls
 
[Verse 4]
      Em
Well, here she comes in the afternoon
Em
With some apples and a pack of Reds
Em
She bathes my babies then she reads me to sleep
G            Am        Em
Nothing much ever gets said
G                       Am                     Em
Nothing much ever gets, nothing much ever gets said
 
[Chorus]
E7                             Am
  But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      E7                    Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, Ah
 
[Break]
Em
Oh
Em
Oh
 
[Verse 5]
Em    N.C.
Well, the cops show up with their lights turned off
N.C.
Judge Johnny from across the street
N.C.
Had some calls light night, something didn’t look right
N.C.                                  Em
Grab your things you better come with me
 
[Verse 6]
    Em
Accusations in a room with a neon light
Em
She said "Don’t you pay us no mind."
Em
All we ever shared was a loneliness
       G     Am       Em
He and I was two of a kind
       G             Am           Em
He and I was two of, was two of a kind
 
[Chorus]
E7                             Am
  But every now and then I get evil
                                 G
I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple
                                B7
I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole
                          Em
I hit my kids but I don’t mean to
      E7                    Am
I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk
                               G
Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop
                     B7            Em
Waiting on the other shoe to drop, Ah
