A#m                F#
Shake my bones and rattle my grave
C#                       G#
He's gone diggin' in the bitch again
A#m              F#
Back tattoo of a big black snake

And this house is burning down
            F#         C#    F

Hurt me

Throw me down
15 years I give you me
To lie alone in this red neck town
A better lover did I have to be

Hey lil mama who ya gonna poison now?
And hey lil papa who ya gonna run to now?

Chorus:
It's been a long time coming
And this house is burning down
Dont know how I ever loved you
I was blind and running
Into what's in front of me
And I never knew
That happy ever after wasn't you

It's been a long time coming
And this house is burning down
Dont know how I ever loved you
I was blind and running
Into what's in front of me
If I only knew
That happy ever after wasn't you

C#         G#           A#m F#
Happy ever after wasn't you
C#         G#           A#m F#
Happy ever after wasn't you
C#         G#           D#
Happy ever after wasn't you
