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

          C                        Am
Thinking fog and sand was gonna keep me clean
 G                                 Dm
Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address

            C                      Am
Where they went instead I could only guess



CHORUS:
          G            Dm
Tell the barfly who runs this town

     A#
You won't get high

        C
You'll just get down

          G             Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime

     A#
You won't get high

    C
So do the time

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

         C                        Am
And the tide crept high like a watery ghost

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

         C                     Am
You can always find sitting one seat down



CHORUS:
          G            Dm
Tell the barfly who rolls the dice

      A#
Your numbers up

    C
So roll it twice

          G             Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime

     A#
You won't get high

    C
So do the time

BRIDGE:
        Am                          G            D
Honey, I'm not the one who's of use to you now

 Am                                    G             D
I get an hour's sleep at night and I can't see how

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