[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][A][G][D][Bm][A][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
When Walter went [Bm]crazy[A]
She was sitting on the [G]couch[D]
Painting her [Bm]toenails[A]
And drinking a [G]tab[D]
He walked out of the [Bm]bedroom with
a ci[A]garette in his [G]mouth
And [D]he poured gasol[Bm]ine in a circle
[A]all around the [G]house[D]

[Verse 2]
When Walter went [Bm]crazy
He had [A]rattlesnake in his [G]eyes
[D]Blended whisky [Bm]in his veins
and [A]murder in his [G]heart[D]
She watched him walk [Bm]out the
door and [A]knew he was [G]gone
[D]Matlock on the [Bm]TV and her
[A]mama on the phone
[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]
When Walter went crazy,
they [G]say he just [Bm]snapped
[A]It had gone on for so long and
she [G]wasn't coming [D]back
[A]She hadn't been off the couch in
at [G]least a dozen [Bm]years
[D]Deafened by the si[Bm]lence and the [A]grinding of

[Interlude 1]
the gears
[G][D][Bm][A][G][D][Bm][A]
[G]

[Verse 4]
His [D]friends could see it [Bm]com ing
like [A]yellow piss on [G]snow
Like [D]a house fire in the dis[Bm]tance,
like a [A]car crash in slow mo
[G]Their [D]friends could see it [Bm]com ing
but [A]what could someone [G]do
When [D]it's speeding down
the [Bm]run way and
The [A]brake line's cut in two

[Verse 5]
[G]When [D]Walter went cra[Bm]zy
The [A]house went up in [G]flames
[D]You could see his han[Bm]ds shaking
From the [A]bourbon and the shame
[G]He [D]never planned the end[Bm]ing
He just [A]rolled the credit [G]names
When the [D]lights came up
we [Bm]all went home
But [A]never quite the same

[Verse 6]
[G]When the [D]lights came up
we [Bm]all went home
But [A]never quite the [G]same

[Verse 7]
When the [D]lights came up
[Bm]we all went home
But [A]never quite the same
[G]
