G             F          Em
Back then, I had a Buckingham rabbit
         G            F         Em
I'd been lonely since she found Christ
G          F         Em
Now is the time to depend on the law
    D                         Em
The nights of my professional life
         D                         Em
It's the nights of my professional life


      G           F          Em
I was living in a very young city
        G          F          Em
Grand piano, great lakes, goodbye
       G         F                   Em
If you ask me my name, it's high-low-jack in the game
      D                         Em       D    Em
I can track a single bee to the hive


      G      F              Em
Every single game was a blowout
        G      F            Em
And the NASCAR blurred into porn
       G            F           Em
Scenic this, scenic that, don't fall for the traps
     D                 Em
Of a man who was never born
  D                 Em
A man who was never born



[Chorus]
Fmaj7              Am
So the rent became whiskey
Fmaj7                   Am
And then my life became risky
Fmaj7                  Am
And so the rent became whiskey, whiskey
Fmaj7                 Am
Shattered dogs on the rocks



[Verse]
       G           F              Em
At the back of the bar, there's a couch
          G             F      Em
Where the lonely people go and lie
     G           F             Em
They talk to the honky tonk psychiatrist
         D                Em
Into the wee hours of the night
         D                Em
Into the wee hours of the night


    G            F        Em
The factory's on muscle relaxers
    G               F        Em
The pine perfume of hilltown floors
    G            F          Em
The lover, the thinker, the talker, the singer
         D                Em
Won't be lucid for her anymore
              D                Em
They won't be lucid for her anymore



[Chorus]
Fmaj7              Am
So the rent became whiskey
Fmaj7                   Am
And then my life became risky
Fmaj7                  Am
And so the rent became whiskey, whiskey
Fmaj7                 Am
Shattered dogs on the rocks, shattered dogs on the rocks



[Instrumental]

[Verse]
         G          F            Em
When you know how I feel, I feel better
            G            F          Em
When you're fifteen, you wanna look poor
    G       F          Em
You do unto others and run like a mother
        D                  Em
I don't wanna look poor anymore
            D                  Em
No, I don't wanna look poor anymore


G          F       Em
Jesus in a runaway shelter
           G         F           Em
Said, "The deaf have pictures of you"
         G       F                Em
From the digital fountains to the analog mountains
        D                  Em
Let the mirror express the room
        D                  Em
Let the mirror express the room
