B - B


B                   D#m     E           B
I went down to Lloyd Center looking for you. 
B                   D#m     E           B
but a mouth full of anger blocked my view. 
B             F#   B                    E 
you took your hand there in the skating rink. 
B         F#      E        B
god will give him blood to drink. 


B                  D#m
saw the two of you leaving. 
E                       B
I didn't want to follow behind. 
B                   D#m
but I could see the rest of your evening, 
E            B
burning in my mind. 
B         F#        B       E
the sky's black. the moon's pink. 
B         F#      E        B
god will give him blood to drink. 

I looked over the railing. ice was white 
on the northeast side where I saw you and your boyfriend 
on a friday night. 
I went mining for gold. I struck pure, fresh zinc. 
god, god will give him blood to drink. 

hey, hey, hey.
