Verse 1

 Look what you started

 I seem to be coming out of my skin

 Look what you've forgotten here

 The bandages just don't keep me in

 And when it was over I woke up alone

 And when it was over I woke up alone

Chorus 1

 And they cut me to ribbons

 and told me to drive

 I got your name tattooed

 inside of my arm

 I called for my father

 but my father had died

 While you told me fortunes

 in American Slang

(Repeat Intro once)

Verse 2

 And look at the damage

 The fortunes came

 for the richer men

While we were left

 with gallows

 Just waiting for us liars

 to come down and hang

 And when it was over

 I woke up alone

 And when it was over

 I woke up alone

Chorus 2

 And they cut me to ribbons

 and told me to drive

 I got your name tattooed

 inside of my arm

 I called for my father

 but my father had died

 While you told me fortunes

Bridge

And here's where we died

 that time last year

 And where the angels

 and devils meet

 And you can dance with

 the queen if you need

 And she will always keep your

cards close to her heart

Oh so close to her heart

 before they tear you apart

Chorus 3

 And they cut me to ribbons

 and told me to drive

 I got your name tattooed

 inside of my arm

 I called for my father

 but my father had died

 And we called for our fathers

 but our fathers had died

 While you told me fortunes

 in American Slang

 While you told me fortunes
