In the halfway house of ill repute 
F  C  Dm 
Aa Aa Aa 
Dm    Bb F  C  Dm

Dm                      Bb                F 
Two halves are equal, a cross between two evils

When I let him, when I feel the stitches getting sicker 
Bb                Dm                A 
I try to wash him out but like they say, 'The blood is thicker'

I see my mother in my face but only when I travel

I run as fast as I can run but Jack comes tumbling after 
Bb           F                C             Dm     Bb       Dm 
And when I'm brave enough and find a clever way to kick him out 
           Bb             F                C                   Dm

'Cause I'm not big enough to house this crowd 
F  C  Dm 
Aa Aa Aa 
Dm                           Bb          F 
It might destroy me but I'd sacrifice my body 
Dm                                Bb 
If it meant I'd get the Jack part out 
Bb C
