[G][C][Em][C][G][C][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]You better open the door
[Em]before I take a hamm[G]er to the wall[Em]s arou[D]nd it.
[G]I cannot let you ins[Em]ide my cell for fear I'll
[G]sink the ship and [Em]drag us [D]both [C]down.
[G]Our hell end[C]s every weekend but
it's [Em]all I h[C]ave to believe in.
[G]Our hell end[C]s every weekend but
it's [Em]all I h[C]ave to believe i[G]n.
Matt makes his murderous
[Em]demand: foreign films.

[Verse 2]
[Em]I take a stand and [D]it's [G]all uphill from [Em]here
(at least I [D]hope [G]so).
Kate claims she can't depend on
[Em]me for anything and I ag[D]ree[G]
It's crystal [Em]clear. I reach for the
bottle and disappear.
[G][C]

[G]Our hell end[C]s every weekend but
it's [Em]all I h[C]ave to believe in.
[G]Our hell end[C]s every weekend but

[Verse 4]
[G]Frank fails to see the humor
[Em]in my sad attempts
At break [D]dan[G]cing in every bar
[Em]along Lynd[G]el avenue.
Liz likes to liquor up my thought
[Em]s from the c.c. club
To [D]the triple [G]rock there's no escape
[Em]from the chorus of people screaming:[D]
[G]You better open the doo[Em]r bef[D]ore I
take a [G]hammer to the [Em]walls [D]around it.
[G]I cannot let you insid[Em]e my cel[D]l for fear I'll
[G]sink the ship and [Em]drag us both [D]down.

[A]I'll [Am]swim [C]ba[Em]ckwards[D]
[Asus4][x6]. I'll [Am]swim alone the long good[C]bye.
You better [Em]open the [D]door before I
take a [Am]hammer to the walls around it.
I cannot let you inside my cell [C]for fear I'll sink
the ship and drag us both [G]down.
You better open [Em]the door be[D]fore I
take a [G]hammer to the [Em]walls [D]around it.

I'll [G]sink the ship and drag us both down.
