           F                                               C
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano.
            F                                                    C
Trying hard to capture the moment, this morning I don't know.
             Em                     F                                    C
'Cause a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head and some blonde
                                                                   F
Gave me nightmares, I think that she's still in my bed.

As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.

With an ironclad fist I wake up and french-kiss the morning.

While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head while we're talking
         Em                         F
About all of the things that I long to believe,
          C                                                        F
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Dm           G      C
     Baby you're all that I need.

Well I'm so far away, each step that I take's on my way home.

A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this pay phone.
          Em                      F                                 C
Still I'd run out of time or it's hard to get through till the bird on the wire
