Tango Till They're Sore

Tom Waits

From Raindogs (1985)

Intro

[Em] [Am] [B7] [Em]

Verse 1

Well ya play that tarantella

[Am]

All the hounds will start to roll

[B7]

The boys all go ta hell

[Em]

And then the Cubans hit the floor

And they drive along the pipeline

[Am]

They tango 'till they're sore

[B7]

They take apart their nightmares

[Em]

And they leave 'em by the door

Chorus

[Am]

Let me fall out of the window

[B7]

With confetti in my hair

[Em]

Deal out Jacks or better

[Am]

On a blanket by the stairs

[B7]

I’ll tell you all my secrets

[Em]

But I lie about my past

[Am] [B7] [Em]

So send me off to bed for ever more

Verse 2

Make sure they play my theme song

[Am]

I guess daisies will have to do

[B7]

Just get me to New Orleans

[Em]

And paint shadows on the pews

Turn the spit on that pig

[Am]

And kick the drum and let me down

[B7]

Put my clarinet beneath my bed

[Em]

Till I get back in town

Chorus

[Am]

Let me fall out of the window

[B7]

With confetti in my hair

[Em]

Deal out Jacks or better

[Am]

On a blanket by the stairs

[B7]

I’ll tell you all my secrets

[Em]

But I lie about my past

[Am] [B7] [Em]

So send me off to bed for ever more

Verse 3

Just make sure she's all in calico

[Am]

In the color of a doll

[B7]

Wave the flag on Cadillac day

[Em]

And a skillet on the wall

Cut me a switch

[Am]

Or hold your breath till the sun goes down

[B7]

Write my name on the hood

[Em]

Send me off to another town

Chorus

[Am]

Let me fall out of the window

[B7]

With confetti in my hair

[Em]

Deal out Jacks or better

[Am]

On a blanket by the stairs

[B7]

I’ll tell you all my secrets

[Em]

But I lie about my past

[Am] [B7] [Em]

So send me off to bed for ever more

[Am]

Let me fall out of the window

[B7]

With confetti in my hair

[Em]

Deal out Jacks or better

[Am]

On a blanket by the stairs

[B7]

I’ll tell you all my secrets

[Em]

But I lie about my past

[Am] [B7] [Em]

So send me off to bed for ever more
