I had my dream I held your hand on that broad avenue
We crossed the road And never spoke to another as we flew
We left your man alone in drag laughing there at us
A romantic bust a blunder turned explosive blunderbuss

D C G D x4 (drums enter)

piano riff

An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head I’d see you look at me
Pools of brown and sea of red and demons in your pocket
That same romance Performed a dance inside your silver locket

A corner exit not tall enough to walk out standing straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gate
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into

Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to do
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment

D C G D x2

piano riff

I laid you down and touched you like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
So selfish them? would be their cry and who’d be brave to argue?
Doin’ what tWO people need is never on the menu

Vs:
I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and
I looked in the mirror at my face, I thought I had a disease

And there’s a woman with her fingers in my ice box
She flipped around and cold out asked me if I’m okay
She put the ice up on my tongue and then it melted away
?
Speak easy, make her mine if she’s bored, yeah
There’s a ? ceiling that is out of my reach

G F (x2)

I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah
I looked down and my legs were long gone
I fell forward with my shoulder, but there’s nobody there

I thought she left a note, just the tag of the pillow there
And then I noticed that the rag next to my ear
The clock was ringing, but there wasn’t nothing that I could hear

Sometimes someone controls everything about you
And when they tell you that they just can’t live without you
They ain’t lyin’, they’ll take pieces of you
And they’ll stand above you and walk away
play intro riff over last line
That’s right and take a part of you with them Explain

My veins are blue and connected
And every single bone in my brain is electric
But I dig ditches like the best of ‘em
Yo trabajo duro, como en madera, ¿y eso?

Como en madera, ¿y eso?

And even God herself has fewer plans than me
But she never helps me out when my scans for free though
She grabs a stick and then she pokes it at me
When I say nothing, I say everything
Yeah when I say nothing
I say everything

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_white/lazaretto_crd.html )
They put me down in a lazaretto
Born rotten, bored rotten
Making models of people I used to know
Out of coffee and cotton
And all of my illegitimate kids have begotten
Thrown down to the wolves, made feral for nothing
Quarantined on the Isle of Man
And I’m trying to escape any way that I can, oh
Any way that I can, oh
I don’t

I have no time left, time is lost
No time at all, throw it in a garbage can
And I shake God’s hand, I jump off
And let her know when I can, this is how I’m gonna do it

— solo —

They wanna blow down the prison
They’re lighting fires with the cash of the masses

And like the dough I don’t fall down
I’m so Detroit I make it rise from the ashes

Intro (playin’ single notes):
D F F# G Bb A 4x

I guess I should go to sleep
Too hard standin’ on my own two feet
Been walkin’ too long on a dead end street
I guess I should go to sleep

Well I guess I’ll take off my shoes
Head upstairs and then watch the news
That’s another way to lose these walkin’ blues
I guess I’ll take off my shoes

break (playin’ single notes): D F F# G Bb A 4x

Well upstairs, upstaged, and upset
Keepin’ quiet is probably my best bet yet
Cause I ain’t managed to say the right thing yet
Well I guess I should go back to bed

interlude: D A A D D7 G E A

D D/C D/B D/A 4x

Guess I should go to sleep

My temper got the best of me
And when I said that I mean
I know every single thing that I said was true
And I know that you’re mad at me
But if you’re thinking like that
I think you’ll see that you’re mad at you too
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jack_white/hypocritical_kiss_crd.html )
And I know the feeling’s strong
Strong enough to forget about all that I’ve been through
And it sounds obscene, but
Loud words never bothered me like they do to you

You’re the boy that talks but says nothin’
A big game to the ones that you think will believe you
But you don’t know how to read
The look on my face when it says, “yeah I’ve read that book too”

And who the hell’s impressed by you?
I want names of the people that we know that are fallin’ for this
You would sell your own mother out
And then betray your dead brother with another hypocritical kiss

D F G (4x)

And then he’ll fight the world
And love the girl that tried to hold her hands behind them

They won’t be left behind
By time or any rules that try to bind them

Nobody knows just how it goes
To show that the villain will play the victim
The kings can check the reigns
And deem the knives of brains that mean to kill them

And then he’ll fight the world
And love the girl that tried to hold her hands behind them

They won’t be left behind
By time or any rules that try to bind them

(SOLO) A E A E A

And then he’ll fight the world
And love the girl that tried to hold her hands behind them

They won’t be left behind

Lyrics:
(Yeah)
Cut off the bottoms of my feet
Make me walk on salt
Take me down to the police
Charge me with assault
A smile on her face
She does what she wants to me

That’s right and
She don’t care what kind of wounds she’s inflicted on me
She don’t care what color bruises that she’s leavin’ on me
‘Cuz she’s got freedom in the 21st century
(Alright)

(Listen)
Two black gadgets in her hands
All she thinks about
No responsibility no guilt or morals
Cloud of judgement
Smile on her face
She does what she damn well please

(Right)
And she don’t care about the things people used to do
She don’t care that what she does has an effect on you
She’s got freedom in the 21st century

Cut off the bottoms of my feet (Cut off the bottoms of my feet)
Make me walk on salt (Make me walk on salt)
Take me down to the police (Take me down to the police)Explain

Well I get into the game, but it’s always the same
I’m the man with the name Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, Poor Boy
Call me whatever you may, I ain’t stoppin’ the train
I get a feel for the fame Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy

And I know that I can’t defeat you
Yea, you don’t worry now, I ain’t going to preach to you
Well, there ya go
But I’ll be going right there with you
Yeah wherever you’ll be, you’ll be lookin’ at me

But don’t get out of your chair
Put a bow in your hair, you might be makin’ ‘em stare
So leave the care to the poor boy, the poor boy
And that’s the name of the game
Keep on stayin’ the same, ain’t nobody to blame
Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy

Well okay, so you fell asleep today
What’s funny to me though is that you did that yesterday
You might think I’m mad
For doing all the things that I don’t need to do
But while you’re laughin’ at me, well I’ll be laughin’ at you

So I get into the game, but always keep it the same
And I’ll be usin’ your name,
but they’ll be yellin’ at me “Poor boy,poor boy”
But I’ll be happy for you, cause you got nothin’ to do
And I’ll be singin’ the blues, walkin’ around singin’ “Poor boy,poor boy”

Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me
And it turns me on when the song takes over me
But alright, I can’t fight it the odds are against me
But I can’t sit still
Because I know that I will

And you’ll be watching me girl, takin’ over the world
Let the stripes unfurl, gettin’ rich singin’ “Poor boy, poor boy”
And I’ll be comin’ to play, I do it every day
And the title will stay, Hip Eponymous Poor Boy, poor boy (Yeah)

Same chords as intro for outro

Intro: E, E, E

Verse 1:

i want love to roll me over slowly

stick a knife inside me and twist it all around

i want love to, grab my fingers gently

slam them in the door way, put my face into the ground

i want love to, murder my own mother and

take her off to somewhere, like hell or up above

and i want love to, change my friends to enemies,

change my friends to enemies, show me how it’s all my fault

Chorus:

no i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me

i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me

yeah i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me anymore

Verse 2: (repeat chords)

i want love to walk right up and bite me
grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground
and i want love to, spit … opening, cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound
i want love to forget that you offended me,
or how you had defended me when everybody taught me down
and i want love to, change my friends to enemies, change my friends to enemies
show me how it’s all my fault

Chorus 2: (repeat chorus)

no i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
yeah i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
anymore.

Intro ( E – Gmaj – A – Bmaj ) 2x

She’s got stickers on her locker
And the boy’s number’s there in magic marker
I’m hungry and the hunger will linger
I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers

Well every morning I deliver the news
Black hat white shoes and I’m red allover
She’s got a big mailbox, that she puts up front
Garbage in garbage out, she’s getting what she wants

(Play this lick twice)

Who’s jealous who’s jealous who’s jealous who’s jealous of who?
If I get busy then I couldn’t care less what you do
But when I’m by myself I think of nothing else
Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you

( E – Gmaj – A – Bmaj ) 2x

Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
Jumpin’ and waving, I’m talking and laughing as we float
I hear a whistle, that’s how I know she’s home
Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home

Force fed, force mixed ‘till I drop dead
You can’t defeat her, when you meet her you’ll be what I said
And Lord knows there’s a method to her madness
Bustin’ those jokes as I float in a sea of sadness

She doesn’t know but when she’s gonna sit and drink up a few
I’m sure she’s drinkin two, but wondering what for and who
And I’m solo rollin’. I’m one side off the boat.
Looking out, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat

Not sure about the solo…
