Low Shelf Life

E Am E Am E You leaned to my right and whispered me a lie. Am I didn't believe it. I couldn't if I tried. E If I tried to forgive you I wouldn't Am forgive myself. Dm I'll place your heart next to the E Am broken bottle on the shelf. E Am E Em Am I'm a sinning man but I'll pay for my sins. E A pound of flesh and a shot of gin. Am Dm E Shotgun at my boot, fire in my eyes. Am E I won't shoot unless you keep Em Am on telling those lies. Dm Spent my day and my dimes at the telephone booth. E I'm not wasting time I'm just wasting my youth. Am Spent a cent for a dame and lent her my name. E A familiar face or just someone to Am blame? E Making deals, taking strolls. Am Lift me high when I'm feeling low. E Take a chance to lose control. Em You know it takes a certain man to Am go and sell your soul. E I've got a dusty denim vest and a snakeskin belt. Am I've got a worn and weathered notch for every blow that I've dealt. E Am I'm a sinking man but I refuse to be saved. E A pound of flesh in a watery grave. Am Dm Cement around my boots, fire in my E eyes. Am E I've been sinking, I've been drinking, Em Am you've been telling those lies. Dm Spent the best of my days in an old jail cell. E Relying on your calls for that dinner bell. Am Spent my life for a dame and lent her my name. E A familiar face or just someone to Am blame? E Lift me up, get down low. Am Take a chance and take it slow. E Lift me up, slow your roll. Em I'm a certain kind of man, I might Am just sell my soul. E You're lying at my right, you took a chance but you lied. Am Who knew the day that you broke me was the day that you died. E I damn sure don't regret it. I couldn't if I tried. Em 'Cause I tried to forgive you I Am wouldn't forgive myself. Dm I'll place my shotgun next to your E Am broken heart on the shelf. E Em Am
