Tom Waits Heartattack and Vine Lyrics

This is my acoustic version of this classic Waits song
Hope someone else enjoys it too.
Play the Cmaj/E chord on the UPSTROKE
All mistakes are mine, any glaring errors or suggestions

Chords
Tacet = Hit note once then PAUSE till the Cmaj/E chord played on upstroke
HEARTATTACK AND VINE
THESE CHORDS ALL THE WAY THROUGH
Dm F Dm F Dm F Am Dm F G Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
Dm F Dm F Dm F Am Dm F G Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
Lair liar with your pants on fire, White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers re-evaluate along the dotted line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You'll never recognise yourself on Heartattack and Vine
Doctor, Lawer, Beggerman, Thief, Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want'a taste the madness, You'll have to wait in line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine
Boney's high on chinawhite, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no Devil, That's just God when He's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, Let's do another line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine
Dm F Dm F Dm F Am Dm F G Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
See that little Jersey girl in the see through top
With the peddle pushers suckin' on a soda pop
Well I bet she's still a virgin, But it's only twentyfive to nine
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine
Better off in Iowa, Get your scrambled eggs
Than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs
You'll find your ignorance is blissful every Goddamn time
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You're waitin' for the RTD on Heartattack and Vine
Boney's high on chinawhite, Shorty found a p-p-punk
Don't you know there ain't no Devil, That's just God when He's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, Let's do another line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine
Lair liar with your pants on fire, White spades hangin' on the telephone wire
Gamblers re-evaluate along the dotted line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You'll never recognise yourself on Heartattack and Vine
Doctor, Lawer, Beggerman, Thief, Philly Joe remarkable looks on in disbelief
If you want'a taste the madness, You'll have to wait in line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You'll probably see someone you know on Heartattack and Vine
See that little Jersey girl in the see through top
With the peddle pushers suckin' on a soda pop
Well I'll bet she's still a virgin, But it's only twentyfive to nine
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
You can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine
Boney's high on chinawhite, Shorty found a punk
Don't you know there ain't no Devil, That's just God when He's drunk
Well this stuff will probably kill you, Let's do another line
Dm (Tacet) Cmaj/E
What you say you meet me down on Heartattack and Vine
