Skeleton Key

• Am

   All is in regard to the capo



Capo 2nd Fret

         Am        D              Em
I did a sick, sick thing to my love.
              Am       D              Em
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
                      G
And she cooked me food.
                   Am            D      Em
She squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.
              Am       D           Em
She left her man and attended to me.

                      G
And don't call me that.
                 Am
Don't claim you love me,
          D                Em
Cause you know that ain't true.
          Am              D             Em
My dire affliction I'll attribute to you.
                       G
And you're finally free
              Am            D       Em
To twist and turn like a skeleton key.

                       G
You've gotta let me know.
                       G
You've gotta let me know.

        Am        D             Em
I did a horrible thing to that girl.
          Am           D           Em
I bred my misery and drowned it in her.
                   G
And she got me high,
              Am                  D          Em
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes.

                Am       D       Em
And I miss you less and less everyday.
                     Am                D        Em    
And it's true the whiskey's helped to wash you away.
                    G
And it's clear to see,
                 Am
You're nothing special.
           D        Em
You're a skeleton key.

                        G
You've gotta let me know.
                        G
You've gotta let me know.
                        G
You've gotta let me know.
                        G
You've gotta let me know.

Whooo!
Am D Em

Might not be 100%, but it's what I heard.
