Cm                 G#
Don't blame your daughter
                 D#
that's just sentimental
                      A#
and don't blame your mom
                           Cm
for all that you've done wrong
                  G#
Your dad is not guilty
                       D#
you came out a little faulty
                  A#
and the factory closed

                        Fm
so you can't hold them liable
     G#          D#
You come from an island,
        A#      Fm
you're cutting diamonds
       G#	D#
with a rubbery knife

Your autograph's worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes that lack of love left
Some hair from a horse
But none of it is yours, man

You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubbery knife

Chorus:
         G#       D#     A#
And the song you sing today
       D#              G#
wasn't always in your head,
     G#		D#	A#
the words you tryin' to say
        D#                      G#
are the ones you shouldn't have said
         Fm              Cm
they're glistenin' like diamonds,
Fm          Cm
go out and find' em
     G#		 D#   C#     Cm
but don't blame your daughter

Cm                 G#
Read me your tombstone,
                D#                 A#
tell me you're sorry, fax me your will,
                      Cm
you owe me something still
              G#
Blood is like water
                   D#
the bath that you poured me
                      A#
has drained and it's gone,
                       D#
don't blame it on your son
