[Intro/Bridge]
Am G C
C E Am G C
[Verse 1]
Am G C
James incurred the wrath
C E Am
of a jealous woman
Am G C
Not long after that
C E Am
spending all his weekends
G C
Trying to relearn
G Am E F
How a young man yearns after a noose
G C
Poor poor James
[Verse 2]
Am G C
Most nights he has dreams
C E Am
all his teeth are missing
Am G C
Wakes up in a sweat
C E Am
Simpleton heart racing
G C
He throws back the sheets
G Am E F
Begins to weep without much feeling
G C
Poor poor James

Upright mammals human

Give this beast a burden

Because the universe

Makes much more sense without a purpose
