I'm quite contented to take my chances 

 G G  C C   G G  C C  

G           C               G    C 
Against the Guildensterns & Rosenkrantzes

It's a matter of Cain & Abel

He doesn't dangle by the seraphim 
Bb                       A 
He only wants a pretty face by him so 
Bb                               A        C         G 
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

             G             C           G          C 
 But they'll peck a little extra to resole their shoes 

 G G  C C   G G  C C  

G             C        G        C 
He's with the pigeons pecking crumbs 

 G G  C C   G G  C C  

G          C         G                   C 
I'm on my deathbed bleeding with the cherubim

He doesn't dangle by the seraphim

He only wants a pretty face by him so 
Bb                               A     C         G 
How could you want him when you know you could have me?

Bridge: 

D                         C 
Ferocious angels send me falling stars 
    D                C 
But I know just how dangerous wishes are 
D                          C 
Ferocious angels watch me come and go 
D                           F            C           G        D 
But I'm not too smart to go barging off roof tops, though...  no

           G            C           G         C 
'Cause you can't drink wine from a two dollar bill 

 G G  C C   G G  C C

Saint Christopher lives on the end of a quill
