[Intro]
Em C D C (x2)
[Verse 1]
G D
She's a bone white flaming haired, Goth of a girl
G D
Who breaks out into freckles in the sun
Em C
And the earth underneath her bed quakes when she comes
G D Dsus D
And she melts like butter when she done
[Verse 2]
G D
She clings with her knees, as she pleads for my tongue
G D
But she can't bare the sight of the sun
Em
She claims there's places out west
C
where they still live by the gun
G D
She screams like a lynx when she comes
[CHORUS]
Em Dsus2
She melts like butter in the flo-ri-da sun
Em Dsus2
In-be-tween my fingers she runs
G B
Beggin', "Please take me with you",
C Am
we could live by the gun
Em
Just don't leave me alone here
Dsus2 Em C D C
to melt like butter in the sun
[Verse 3]
G D
She's an last soul I know who still goes for cocaine
G D
Flys until sunrise and crashes all day
Em C
With no visible signs of remorce or decay
G D
She must know I'm too old to keep goin' this way
[CHORUS 2]
Em Dsus2
She melts like butter in the flo-ri-da sun
Em Dsus2
In-be-tween my fingers she runs
G B
Beggin', "Please take me with you",
C Am
we could live by the gun
Em
Just don't leave me alone here
Dsus2 C C
to melt like butter in the sun
[Interlude]
Em C D C (x4) | C
[Verse 4]
G D
I was born in the morning, in a room filled with light
G D
And despite all the things I've done wrong
Em C
I'm at home in the sun; I come alive in the light
G D
When she rises tonight, I'll be gone
G Dsus2 Dsus2
(When she comes to tonight, I'll be long gone)
[CHORUS 2]
Em Dsus
And she melts like butter in the flo-ri-da sun
Em Dsus
In-be-tween my fingers she runs
G B C Am
No I can't take her with me, I can't live by the gun
Em
So I'll, leave her alone here
Dsus2 C
to melt like butter in the sun
[Outro]
Em D
I'll be haunted from now on by the cries
C
of a lynx when I come
C Em C D C
Somewhere far away in the darkest hour
Em C
I'll hear her calling my name
D C
And I-I'll kn-o-w,
Em C D C
And I-I-I-I-I'll know,
Em C D C
