Am C G
I got green and I’ve got blues
Am C G
Every day there’s a little less difference between the two

Well I ain’t really drowning ‘cause I see the beach from here

Dadd9
I could take the Greyhound home
Am
When I got there it’d be gone

Along with everything my home is made up of
[Chorus]

So I’ll take two of what you’re having

I’ll take all of what you got

To kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love

Sister listen to what your daddy says

Belly up and arch your back

Well I ain’t really fallin’ asleep; I’m fadin’ to black
[Pre-chorus]

You can come to me by plane
