Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]I stood there striking matches
and you stood there starting trouble
Said I was born just south of Natchez
and you said I was lucky
To have met [Bm]you in [D]the summer
or to have [Bm]been born [D]at all
And you'd never turn [G]your back
on my good [D]night
And I was striking conversa[G]tions,
you said [D]don't go to [G]the trouble
And you ordered [D]up [G]a vision,
and I said [D]I'd have [G]a double
When you talk [Bm]I cannot [D]listen,
and your words [Bm]rise with [D]a sorrow
And tomorrow I'll [G]no more see you [D]again
You were a striking [G]beauty
standing under [D]your [G]umbrella
And the noose [D]that held [G]your father
is still hanging [D]in the cellar
[G]Well, you asked [Bm]me to [D]re move it,
but it turned [Bm]out I [D]was yellow
And you never asked [G]a thing of me [D]again
And now you're tak[G]ing matches
to a box [D]of my [G]old letters
And you watch [D]the city [G]burning
And you say [D]you know me better
[G]than the best [Bm]of my [D]convictions
In the prison [Bm]of m[D]y heart
And you'd never turn [G]your back
on my good [D]night[G][A][D][G]

[D][G][D]
You crucified my name
You orchestrated my collision
With [A]a mouth full of [G]the same old,
same [Bm]old super[D]stition
Always swirling round my brain
With a black cat and a thousand
[G]broken mirror[D]s
And even now I still [G]think I [D]can hear her
I guess I'm just like my mama, she said.
She waited for my daddy
till my daddy was dead.
I guess I'm just like my mama, she said.
She waited for my daddy
till my daddy was dead.
I guess I'm just like my mama,
she said.
You can wait around forever,
or at least till you're dead.
