Straight As A Die

C    F  G   C    F  G   C

[Verse]
                       F               G     C
She roots out her best earrings with a comb
                          F         G     C
The ones that go with her rowdy red hair
                           F               G      C
Weaves her way between the plastic and the bones
                              F                  G  C
Leaves all her empty evenings hanging in the air

[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
                           F            G    C
He don't mind that she may soon say goodbye
                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
         C                 F  G   C    F  G   C
She's as straight as a die

[Verse]
                     F            G      C
She sees the men out changing the state
                             F             G        C
Knows they stoop, though her eyes are half-drowned
                             F            G      C
Hear the steeple say, it's a quarter past eight
                                   F             G     C
Moves on in a hurry, well, she's a long way from town

[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
                           F             G    C
He don't mind that she may soon make him cry
                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die
C                 F  G
Straight as a die

[Bridge]
                            G
We won't get away from this evil
                   F
No matter how hard we try
    Em                F
The truth is there to catch us
    Em                      F      G   C
The truth is gonna save our lives

[Verse]
                      F         G   C
He's in a thrill of anticipation
                                     F              G     C
So glad he bought something small to give her for a gift
                                   F                      G   C
He feels kind of silly in case she thinks he's having her on
                              F              G     C
All he meant was, she's got a friend she can kiss

[Chorus]
                               F              G     C
And he don't mind that she's a short-tempered girl
                           F            G    C
He don't mind that she may soon have to fly
                               F            G
He don't mind 'cause she's got something he loves
         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die
C                 F  G
Straight as a die
         C                 F  G
She's as straight as a die
C
Straight as a die
