F              Am                F               Am
I wish i could eat the salt off your last faded lips
We can cap the old times, make playing only
logical harm
We can cap the old lines, make playing that nothing
else will change

But she can read, she can read,
she can read, she can read
She's bad
She can read, she can read, she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad

Chorus:
Fmaj7
It's different now that I'm poor and aging,
      Am            Cmaj7
I'll never see this face again
        Fmaj7                    Am C
You go stabbing yourself in the neck

And we can find new ways of living
Make playing only logical harm
And we can top the old times
Claim-making that nothing else will change

But she can read, she can read,
she can read, she can read
She's bad
She can read, she can read,
she can read, she's bad
Oh, she's bad

Chorus:
It's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this place again
You go stabbing yourself in the neck
But it's different now that I'm poor and aging
I'll never see this place again
And you go stabbing yourself in the neck

Am
It's in the way that she posed
              C                           Am
It's in the things that she puts in my head
                 C
Her stories are boring and stuff
             Am
She's always calling my bluff
                F
She puts the, she puts the weights
into my little heart
        Dm
And she gets in my room and she takes it apart
  F
She puts the weights into my little heart
        Dm                        C
I said she puts the weights into my little heart

C             Am
She packs it away
               C
She packs it away
               Am
She packs it away
               F
She packs it away
               Dm
She packs it away
               F
She packs it away
               Dm
She packs it away

It's in the way that she walks
Her heaven is never enough
She puts the weights in my heart
She puts, oh, she puts the weights
into my little heart
