This one's for my ex, Angie

Capo 1st Fret

Intro:   
                                      
Clean heart, clean and sharp,       clean dream, bad start.
                                                         
He loved his brother and his sister, Luke and Tony called him mister.
                              
They made him feel much more like a man.
                                      /               
He loved his daddy though he never told him, and how he loved his mother.
                         /         
He loved, he loved her like            like an Italian.
                                                           
Little Janet said you look so fine, so fine,      something in his smile
                                                        
made them feel like strangers. And then he straightened his belt    with a
                                                         
lover's touch. And he said I'm gonna bring home the things that are out of
             /                                     /
your clutch. Seemed like the hottest night in summer, a heat that makes you
                                                      
feel like dying. Somewhere in the next block    there was a baby crying.
                                          (9)/    
Finger on the trigger for the years to come.
                                          (9)/    
Finger on the trigger for the years to come.
                                                    
And as the moon slid up over the restless streets, sirens mocking and people
                                              
stop to see. Their greedy eyes don't realise he's someone's son.
                                             
Finger on the trigger for the years to come.
                                                
Finger on the trigger for the years to come.
