capo 6

     Am
You heard the crickets of the early eve
      E7                        Am
They lurk around the opening in two's and three's

Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
      E7                               Am
I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
    Am               Am7     D7
The red light in the doorway says she's armed
    E7                           Am
But boy go try your luck and you might get pass
Am            Am7              D7
Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
E7                        Am
Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
    Am                 Am7               D7
You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
        E7                             Am
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
    Am                 Am7               D7
You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
       E7                           Am   D
You've got your reputation and your good intent
E7         Am
Your good intent *instert bass run or "ooh's" here

Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
The shadow of a hunter under your torture
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
You've tainted every moment till death do we part

I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent

I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Such a good intent *four measure

Am                              Am7
It's not enough to hope for the best
D7                          E7
It's not enough to lie there on a brace
Am                 Am7              D7
The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
Am                             E7
One false move and soon you're playing dice for a...
 *measure rest, hit E7 for one beat at the end of the measure  then Am. If you listen to 
the album version or watch the music video, there are no more words, its sort of a 
dance-break; only the bass run and "ooh's," so you can fade out on those or end on 
a strum on Am!
