Acid Tongue Tab

Capo 2

Intro:  -  - * (2x)

                             
I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe
                                                               *
He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"

                         
I beg your pardon I'm not looking for a cure
                                                         *
Seen enough of my friends in the depths of the god-sick blues

                                    
You know I am a liar   You know I am a liar
                   *
Nobody helps a liar

                                           
‘Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
                                                *
Tripped upon the land until enough was enough
                               
I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
                                              *
I was a little drunk and looking for company
                                        
So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
                                                  *
We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again


                                          
We build ourselves a fire We build ourselves a fire
                    *                       *
You know I am a liar        You know I am a liar
          -       -            *
And you don't know what I've done

                            
And by the rolling river is exactly where I was
                                            *
There was no snake or cure for unlucky in love

                                                             
To be lonely is a habit like smokin’ or taking drugs and I've quit them both
                     *
But man, was it rough

                              
Now I am tired   It just made me tired
                           *
Let's build ourselves a fire
                            *
Let's build ourselves a fire
