Intro
(2x riff)
Verse
(Riff)
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I
have a story to tell you, of one's slow decline,
Where a girl yanked on the strings, to break this man's heart,
Oh lord, I think I deserve a little better than this, I think I've earned it,
So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow.
Chorus
[C]Turn me over, roll me 'round,
[D]To find the truth that I don't want found,
[G]Oh, don't believe everything you hear,
[Em]I'm the snake waiting for you, dear,
[C]And eventually you'll come to me,
[D]I know you will.
Riff(1x)
Oh, I know you will.
Riff(1x)
Verse 2
Riff
Your lipstick crazy, I make my pass,
The drink turns over, the glass smashed,
And with the kindness of my smarts, I replace your pleasure
with a friend at the bottom.
Chorus 2
[C]Turn me over, roll me 'round,
[D]To find the truth that I don't want found,
[G]Oh, don't believe everything you hear,
[Em]I'm the snake waiting for you, dear,
[C]And eventually you'll come to me,
[D]I know you will.
Bridge
[Em]It's my f[D]ate to be your [C]biggest mistake,[D] o[C]h [D]oh[C]
[Em]Oh, I'll tell you a[D]ll you want to hear until you s[C]leep.[C][D]
Riff
I know you will...
Riff
Oh goodnight, oh goodnight, Fair Lady.
Chorus 3
[C]Turn me over, roll me 'round,
[D]To find the truth that I don't want found,
[G]Oh, don't believe everything you hear,
[Em]I'm the snake waiting for you, dear,
[C]And eventually you'll come to me,
[D]And eventually you'll come to me,
[G]We can agree to disagree,
[Em]Maybe that was you then, and now this is me,
[C]Eventually you'll come to [D]me, baby, I know you will.
End on G or with the riff
