The Inquiry Of Ms Terri

Gm      Gm F Gm D       Cm
A home removed, a life resumed right here, right here.
Gm      F       Eb
The Priest and the Rosary,
Gm F    Eb      D
The book and the bond between he and me
Cm
has long since broken.
Gm      Cm      Gm      C
A boy who's grown, too short to see,
Gm      C       F#      C
A tale unfold, too tall to be.
Gm F    C Bb Gm F       C Bb
A life once lived behind closed doors,
Gm F C Bb       F#      C
The irony of the pensive whore

[Chorus]

Gm      Gm
Touch, taste,
Gm      Gm      C
Feel it ripping me down.
Gm      Gm      Gm Gm
Reprise, two times, the Dime.
Gm      C       D
Burn it to the ground, oh on the ground.

[Verse]

Gm
The inquiry of Ms. Terri,
F
The expiry of misery,
D
The table turns, the sun along,
Gm      F
The riverbed, and he's alone.
Eb
Her object of affection,
Cm      D
Conflicted by convictions of indecency, sorority,
D
Corrupted by impropriety.
Gm
The cavalier, she hopes of him,
F
In dissonance with experience,
D
The boy who grows, with knife in hand,
Gm      F
To fend for her, becomes a man
Eb
While she plays fake affection,
Cm
And carefully lacks objection,
D
To her gentleman caller's twisted desire.

[Chorus]

Gm      Gm
Touch, taste,
Gm      Gm      C
Feel it ripping me down.
Gm      Gm      Gm Gm
Reprise, two times, the Dime.
Gm      C       D
Burn it to the ground, oh on the ground.

Gm      F
We dance around the room,
D       Gm F
My love, I'll carry you,
Eb      Cm
And I'll teach you how to treat
D
that Leading lady that you'll meet.
Gm      F       D
We dance around the truth, my dear
Gm F    Eb      Cm
I lie for you, and when I lie down,
D
I'm simply lying to them too
