VERSE 1:
G5 Bb5 G5 F5 G5
You used me for an ashtray heart

Case of the punks

Make invalids out of supermen

Call in a shrink
G5 Bb5 G5 F5 G5
And pick you up with a girdle

Used me like an ashtray heart

* * * * * *
Yeah,
VERSE 2:
Another day, another way
Someone's had too much to think
Open up another case of the punks
You hid behind the curtain
Waitin' for me to go out
A man on a porqupine fence

BRIDGE: (same rhythm as BREAK)
G5 G5 G5 G5 G5
Each pillow is touted like a rock
G5 G5
The mother father figure
G5 G5 G5 G5
Somebody's had too much to think
G5 G5 G5 G5
Send your mother home your navel
G5
Case of the punks
VERSE 3:
You picked me out, like an ashtray heart
Hid behind the curtain
Waited for me to go out
Used me like an ashtray heart
A man on a porcupine fence
Hit me where the lover hangs out
BRIDGE:
While they crushed me out
You used me for an ashtray heart
Hid behind the curtain
You looked in the window when I went out
You used me like an ashtray heart
Brushed me off while I was burnin' out
INTRO: Played 2x (slowly fading out)
