Am                                   C

Let's straighten them out
                       F          C         G          C
Let's straighten this whole damn mess we've gotten ourselves in
Am                                 C
This time didn't go the way I was hoping

You've gotta get out, I've gotta get out
                   F        C          G           C

The sun's coming up, did you make it in time?
               Am
If anyone asks you
             F       C         G       C
You weren't there I found the perfect alibi
Am                                  C
A black dahlia blooms and then she dies
          Am
Lie after lie
           F            C       G       C
Is what we do best and share in common, you and I

All your plans, just a nickel in her hands

Am                     F
