AA Piano Chord 
           F#F# Piano Chord 
              BmBm Piano Chord 
    EE Piano Chord 

Sadness has filled a lonely place
AA Piano Chord 
         F#F# Piano Chord 
               BmBm Piano Chord 
   EE Piano Chord 

Before that there was just a hole
AA Piano Chord 
                 F#F# Piano Chord 
            BmBm Piano Chord 
   EE Piano Chord 

At least now there's sadness on my face
AA Piano Chord 
             F#F# Piano Chord 
                BbBb Piano Chord 
   EE Piano Chord 

My lower lip has finally found its role

So the wind and the rain and the snow
Had no particular place to go
So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me
They're better friends than you could ever be

[Chorus]
DD Piano Chord 
    EE Piano Chord 
             AA Piano Chord 

There's a tattoo, a small tattoo
DD Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 
          AA Piano Chord 

Waiting there unpaid for you
DD Piano Chord 
                EE Piano Chord 

And if you ever bump into Unlucky
AA Piano Chord 
                           F#mF#m Piano Chord 

Don't forget who broke your heart in two
DD Piano Chord 
                EE Piano Chord 
                AA Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 

You'd better get there early, there's a million in the queue
EE Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 
    AA Piano Chord 

Just waiting for the name on their tattoo
[end Chorus]

Emptiness has filled a vacant heart
Finally found a place for it to hide
An as I wander like a fool from bar to bar
Empty has become my greatest guide

And the tears and the pain and the despise
Looked at me through bankrupt eyes
They had nowhere else that they could land
So I invited them to take my bloody hand

[Chorus]

FF Piano Chord 
             AmAm Piano Chord 
           E7E7 Piano Chord 
               AmAm Piano Chord 

So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name
FF Piano Chord 
          AmAm Piano Chord 
          E7E7 Piano Chord 
    AmAm Piano Chord 

I've been wondering night after night
FF Piano Chord 
               AmAm Piano Chord 
         E7E7 Piano Chord 
                  AmAm Piano Chord 

When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain
FF Piano Chord 
              AmAm Piano Chord 
             E7E7 Piano Chord 
    AA Piano Chord 

And I hope he spells "you bastard" right

B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me
