A                       Bm
How the hell is everything Since I've been away
D                       A
Is the weather any better? Did the landlord fix the drain?
A                       Bm
Did Louie sell his paintings? Did Kevin quit his job?
D                       A
Will you tell him that I love them and I miss y'all a lot
A                       Bm
Thought about deserting Jumping on a plane the other day
D                       A
It was just a fleeting feeling man I'm usually okay

A                    Bm
When I'm holding conversations in a language I don't speak
D                    A
And coughing on the radio and screaming in my sleep
A                     Bm
I'm just tired of feeling tired Tired of getting drunk
D                   A
Took a picture for the paper and they made me stand in front

A                        Bm
But I shouldn't be complaining there's been people at the show

D                             A
I even saw the Eiffel tower in the souvenir snow globe
A                           Bm
There's just a couple more and then a day off in Amsterdam
D                    A
I'm gonna check into a hotel get fixed up if I can

Bm        E        A        D
You know I promised I'd be careful With the company I keep
Bm        E    A        D          E
And I hold myself together until I'm back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street

A                    Bm
You start at the beginning and go on to the end
D                    A
Sometimes a perfect stranger might end up your only friend
A                  Bm
First you nod politely cause you're not that interested
D                  A
Ask some abstract question like a bored psychiatrist

A                     Bm
But then you get to talking about the plastic in the sea
D                     A
The nightmare of their childhood and reality tv
A                          Bm
It starts to sound familiar like you're coming back to life
D                  A
Make some observations start offering advice
A                          Bm
Always look in both directions when you go to cross the street
D                          A
And if you jump off any buildings make sure you land on your feet

 Bm            E     A         D
Oh promise you'll be careful With the sympathies you seek
Bm           E     A         D        E
Cause I know you feel better Once you're back on Sugar Street, Sugar Street

Bm             E     A         D
And Oh, I promise I'll be careful When I put myself to sleep
Bm          E       A          D        E
