while their dying on a dirty flirt

lost my original home

to be the one that you call the most

...............Bb.................................F
when you tell them about your broken heart

.........C
you'll tell them about me

..........Bb
they'll see it

F.......................C
mmmm they'll see it

so roll out your greasy reasons
roll out your wills and wonts
stare down a starry evening
trying to rewrite the dos and don'ts
so you held your face in secret places
dressed up for king
now she comes around you mostly
on your ceilings in your dreams

it's the wreck of the 97
it's the wreck of the L & E
it's the call that you make to heaven
for to say "what on earth do you think of me"
when you tell them about your broken heart
you'll tell them about me
they'll see it
mmmm they'll see it

it's the wreck of the 97
it's the wreck of the L & E
it's the call that you make to heaven
for to say "what on earth do you think of me"
and you come around here broken
and you think that I don't see
but I see it
mmmm I see it

cause bad boys know their leaving
bad boys know what hurts
yeah bad boys leave you crying
while their dying on a dirty flirt
I fell in love with my other self
lost my original home
to be you rock to be your only one
to be the one that you call the most
