Piss River

C6 C C6 C 4x C6 C C6 C C6 I saw you coming so I got to running like hell C C6 C I could tell that you played for keeps C6 C C6 C Now I live on a boat that sits on a moat C6 C C6 C On top of piss river, outside your castle C6 C C6 C And when death comes 'round, we all sing, "Oh, what an asshole" C6 C C6 C He stirs quite the fuss and he cause quite the hassle C6 C C6 C We all buy black suits as our lives go on mute C6 C C6 C And meet under the belfry to cry and say sorry C And oh my God F Mama, I'm scared Am "I know you are, baby Bb I am scared, too" C6 C C6 C 2x C6 C C6 C Do you want to play chess inside my chest? C You move, I move, you choose, I choose C And hoot, hoot, hoot, I beg like an owl C As I sit on my perch and I stare and I scowl C I know I left you, but I cannot forget you C Now I only know how to harm or upset you C See, I came for your love, but I stayed for your anger C And you rocked me, mama, like a babe in a manger C And oh my God F Mama, I'm angry Am "I know you are, darling Bb C6 C C6 C She's angry, too" C And oh my God F F7 Mama, at who? Am "Oh, Carrie Bb She's angry at you" C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C I tried to pray, but I didn't know what to say C So I just mumbled some names C I said, "I hope they're okay," then "amen" C They were the names of my family and friends C Oh, the planet's so lonely and the planet's so cold C And if I'm so lucky, I'll die when I'm old C I pray no disaster, no fire, no rain C And I pray that no devil gets inside my brain C As the world does its twirl 'tween the moon and the sun C Casting clock shadows beyond everyone C And the hours devour us C As I stare out my window, as I ride this bus C And man, it goes fast, and man, what a blur C But I'd ride it the same or just as it were C It's that feeling in my stomach when the light was low C And I'd get warm in my chest when my heart would slow C That feeling in my head when that music played C Get dizzy in my soul from the glad song they sang C What a dream to have ever felt the air so warm C What a dream to have even ever been born C F And oh my God Am Bb C6 C C6 C Oh, mama, I love you C And oh my God F Am "Oh, baby, oh, darling Bb I love you, too C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C And I know that you know that I do" C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C C6 C I saw you coming C6 C C6 C So I got to running C6 C C6 C But next time, I'll stay put C6 C C6 C 3x End on C
