VERSE 1:
 G+G                      DmDm
Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene

     C majorC            A minorAm
Thinking fog and sand was gonna keep me clean

 G+G                 DmDm
Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address

      C majorC           A minorAm
Where they went instead I could only guess

CHORUS:
     G+G      DmDm
Tell the barfly who runs this town

   A#A#
You won't get high

    C majorC
You'll just get down

     G+G       DmDm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime

   A#A#
You won't get high

  C majorC
So do the time

VERSE 2:
 G+G                  DmDm
Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed

     C majorC            A minorAm
And the tide crept high like a watery ghost

   G+G               DmDm
And no one needs your kind of a dope sick clown

     C majorC           A minorAm
You can always find sitting one seat down


CHORUS:
     G+G      DmDm
Tell the barfly who rolls the dice

   A#A#
Your numbers up

  C majorC
So roll it twice

     G+G       DmDm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime

   A#A#
You won't get high

  C majorC
So do the time


  G+G     DmDm    C majorC    G+G

BRIDGE:
    A minorAm             G+G      D MajorD
Honey, I'm not the one who's of use to you now

 A minorAm                  G+G       D MajorD
I get an hour's sleep at night and I can't see how

                  A minorAm
You deserve all the mess that even guilt won't allow
