Drunk By Noon
From the album Milk And Scissors

A G D x2

D

       A                      G               D
There once was a poodle who thought he was a cowboy
        A                   G            D
But he lived in a cage the size of his thumb
      A                           G      D
And though his white horse was a box of toothpicks
    A                     G        D
He galloped around until hit by a car

D

     A                   G           D
And sometimes I flap my arms like a hummingbird
 A                    G           D
Just to remind myself I'll never fly
 A                   G         D
Sometimes I burn my arms with cigarettes
 A                         G           D
Just to pretend I won't scream when I die

D

       G                       D
If my life was as long as the moon's
      G                      D
I'd still be jealous of the sun
       G                    D
If my life lasted only one day
      Em       G       D
I'd still be drunk by noon

D

A G D x4

D

     A                         G              D
And sometimes I can't wait to come down with cancer
     A                          G       D
At least then I'll get to watch TV all day
 A                       G          D
And on my deathbed I'll get all the answers
     A                        G      D
Even if all my questions are taken away

D

       G                       D
If my life was as long as the moon's
      G                      D
I'd still be jealous of the sun
       G                    D
If my life lasted only one day
      Em       G       D
I'd still be drunk by noon
      Em       G       D
