HAIRSHIRT

{This song repeats these 8 measures throughout the verses:
G / / / G / / / A7 / / / A7 / / / C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /}
 
 I am not the type of dog
 That could keep you waiting
 For no good reason
 Run a carbon-black test on my jaw 
 And you will find it's all been said before
 
  G    A7             C                      Am
 I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
        Am
 It's easier and better
                             C      C
 To just beat it from the chest
 Of desire       G
 
 {verse}
 I could walk into this room
 And the waves of conversation are enough
 To knock you down in the undertow
 So alone so alone in my life
 Feed me banks of light
 And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung 
 It's a beautiful life
 And I can hang my hairshirt 
 Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
 Or bury it at sea
 All my life I've searched for this
 
 Here I am here I am in your life
 It's a beautiful life
 My life
 It's a beautiful life
 Your life
