Maybe I'll climb the stairs

With the girl with golden hair

Up against this lonely world
 
Up against the world
         Em
It's a lonely, lonely world

For a yellow-headed girl
      Dadd4add9
And a young man

Howl in the canyon
          Dadd4add9
There's a hollow in my bones
                        Em
Make me cry and carry on

Make the foam fly from my tongue
 
Make me want what I want

Another wayward son
                   Em
Waiting on oblivion

Waiting for a kingdom come to meet me in my sin

Waiting to be born again
 
Mother kiss me cheek and chin
Em
Mmm, a little medicine

Mmm, I'm gonna shed my skin
                    Em
Mmm, and let me climb back in the bed you made me in
