[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
Babies were cry[G]ing when you got [F]here[Dm]
I be[E]lieve they're crying [Am]still
The world as we [G]know it keeps
[F]right on [Dm]turning
[E]I guess it al[Em]ways [Am]will

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Still, something's changed,
[F]I hate to admit it
[G]I ain't been the same since
you came [E]around[Am]
My mind is [G]swollen from
the [F]weariness[Dm]
Wish you'd nev[E]er flagged me [Am]down

[Verse 3]
Twisted an[F]gel,
cast [G]out of some [Am]strange heaven
Sent down [F]here to [G]pull me
out of my [Am]shell
[C]You show up on my door[G]step,
honey [Dm]dripping from your [Am]mouth[F]
Like some [G]slack jaw Jezebel
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Flesh and [G]bones is all
I'm [F]made [Dm]of
I couldn't [E]have stopped you if [Am]I tried
The spell you were casting,
[G]way[F] too hea[Dm]vy
Now I can[E]'t be satis[Am]fied

[Verse 5]
[Am]
But [Dm]you think you're going to save me,
[F]you better think aga[G]in
I've had saviors [E]galore
And al[Am]though you are a vis[G]ion,
an [F]angel wrapped in [Dm]sin
[E]I've seen it all before
[Am]

[Verse 6]
Twisted an[F]gel,
cast [G]out of some [Am]strange heaven
Sent down [F]here,
[G]landed on my window [Am]sill
Now you're [C]walking through my back [G]door,
honey [Dm]dripping from your [Am]mouth[F]
Like some [G]slack jaw Jezebel

[Interlude 2]
[Am][C][G][Dm]
[Am][C][G][F][Dm]
[E][Em][E][Am][G][F][Dm][Em]
[Am][G][F][Dm]
[E][Am][Dm][F][G]
[E][Am][G][F][Dm]
[Em][E][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 7]
You've [Am]got your bag of d[G]ust and
[F]your divining [Dm]rod
I wonder [E]how I got my[Em]self
[Am]here[D][Am]
Wheel's spinning [G]faster and I know
[F]I have to jump off[Dm][F][Dm]
Guess I'm weighing the
[E]fire against [Am]the fear

[Verse 8]
[Am]
[Dm]You spoon-fed my my ego,
[F]made me feel so you[G]ng
Kissed me 'til my lips were [E]sore
But I [Am]know you're just [G]a Jezebel with
[F]a poisonous t[Dm]ongue
I've been [E]down this road before
[Am]

[Verse 9]
It's full of twisted an[F]gels,
cast [G]out of some [Am]strange heaven
Sent down [F]here [G]to put me
[Am]through Hell
[C]You show up on my [G]doorstep,
honey [Dm]dripping from your [Am]mouth[F]
Like some [G]slack jaw Jezebel
[Am]Oh like some[F] slack[G] jaw

[Outro 1]
Jezebel
