[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][E][Am][E][Am][E]
[Am][E][Am]
[E][Am]

[Verse 1]
You [Am]heard the crickets of the early [E]eve
They [A]lurk [E]around the opening
in [Am]twos and threes
[E]Cle[Am]menti[E]ne told you not
[Am]to move [E]with the breeze
I'll [Am]take you [E]down to places
where we [Am]dare [E]not [Am]speak

[Verse 2]
The [Am]red light in the d[E]oor
[Am]way says s[E]he's armed
But [Am]boy go try your [E]luck
[Am]and you might get past
Step into the [E]dwelling of [Am]the
[E]liger's mouth
[Am]Peer into the [E]panic [Am]for a kick and swell
You know you shouldn't be there
but it's way past [E]bed
There's [Am]comfort in the
fingers of your good intent
[E]You kno[Am]w you shouldn't be [E]there
but your [Am]money's all [E]spent
You've [Am]got your reputation
and your good intent
[E]You[Am]r good int[E]ent
[Am][E][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Out
to [E]feed that habit when you've [Am]sowed [E]that seed
Noth[Am]ing made you f[E]eel
out of the [A]or [E]dinary
But the [Am]air turns [E]sombre
[Am]and the night took heed
[E]Too[Am]k you on [E]a waltz of hypoc[Am]risy
She broke your [E]bones,
now you're [Am]lying in the dirt
[E]The[Am] shadow of a hun[E]ter
[Am]under your torture
It's not enough [E]to say,
it's [Am]not what's [E]in your heart
You've [Am]tainted every [E]mo ment
till [Am]death do we part

[Verse 4]
[Am]I know you didn't [E]mean it,
boy you [Am]meant [E]so well
The [A]pennies [Am]are casc[E]ading
[Am]down your wishing well
I know you didn't [E]mean it
[Am]when you counted to ten
[E]You're sli[Am]pping thr[E]ough the
fingers [Am]of your good intent

[Verse 5]
I [Am]know you didn't mean it,
though you meant so well
[E]The[A] pennies are[E] cascading
[Am]down your wishing well
I know you didn't [E]mean it
when [Am]you counted to ten
[E]You've got[Am] your reputation
and your good in[D]tent[Am]
Such [Dm]a good [Am]intent
[D]It's not enough

[Verse 6]
[Am]to[E]
[Am]hope for the best
It's not enough to lie there on a brace
[E]The[Am] liger's on the prowl
now you've pulled its strings

[Outro 1]
One false move and soon you're playing dice for a
