She puts my body away

Next to the trash Under the sink
Bb                 Bb         F
Along with all the cleaning's supplies and the
Bb                     Bb              F
things that we buy and decide we don't need

Verse 1

Well it's damp and it's dark and it's lonely in here
Next to the trash Under the sink
But everyone needs some time off now and then

Dm                                        Dm                     F F
She says if you're playin the game I hope you know you won't win it
Dm                              Dm                       F        F
And you can tell me next to the trash Well I'll tell you I'm in it
Gm                       Gm                           Am     Am

Am              E             Am
She's right I'm mean when I'm bored
     Dm              Am    E           F
So I dig through the trash looking for her
             Dm                           Dm             Am       Am
She can wash herself off In the mist from the pipes      (extra 3)
   Dm             Dm/C           Dm/B        Am          Am
We could use more of that around here that's for sure    (extra 3)
       F     Bb F F Bb    F C A7     Bb Bb F
But it seems that whoever has thrown her away
Has forgotten the trash under the sink
Or was it a joke meant to buy her some time
All this citrus and pine make it harder to think

Verse 4

So I say if you're playing the game I hope you know you won't win it
And I'll be sorry if they threw you away it's just that they didn't
She says "Boy, you'd better take it back right now and I mean it"

Verse 5

LALALA Solo (first line – Am extra 3)

Verse 6

She puts my body away
Then chases my mind up to the roof
It jumps in the gutter but she pulls it out
And it's all part of having a man in the house

Verse 7

Retard                                                          HOLD OUT FOR A BIT
It jumps in the gutter she pulls it out
And it's all part of having a man in the house
