Intro:
 G+G


Verse 1:
  G+G                  D MajorD
I guess by now you've come to hear the story
                      G+G
of how I lost the fat that'd kept me warm inside
                    D MajorD
just don't let me hear you say you're sorry
            D7D7        G+G
it ain't no ones fault except the camel lights

Verse 2:
    G+G                 D MajorD
take a chair, sit anywhere, it ain't no hurry
                   G+G
all I've left to lose these days is time
                       D MajorD
by the way, I don't just say it to make you worry
                 D7D7         G+G
but I've been shitting blood for damn near half the night


Chorus:
G+G
I've got them radiation blues
        D MajorD
it's got me swimming in my boots
                     G+G
and I can't even wear my suit without a rope to keep it on
                      D MajorD
if you've come to see the news, bring the cards, bring the booze
                       G+G  D MajorD  G+G
we're gonna drink and play until the pain is gone


Verse 3:
   G+G                 D MajorD
that royal straight reminds me of the family
                      G+G
tell my ma you think the treatments doing fine
                    D MajorD
I'd rather have her call then come to see me
               D7D7       G+G
I'm just a pair of skin and bones about to die

Chorus:
G+G
I've got them radiation blues
        D MajorD
it's got me swimming in my boots
                     G+G
and I can't even wear my suit without a rope to keep it on
                      D MajorD
if you've come to see the news, bring the cards, bring the booze
                       G+G  D MajorD  G+G
we're gonna drink and play until the pain is gone

                      G+G
you don't need to be a king to lose your crown
                      D MajorD
how I used to think that I coulda moved a mountain
             D7D7         G+G
now I can barely lift my feet from off the ground

                        G+G  D MajorD  G+G
we're gonna drink until we think we're having fun

                    D MajorD
