[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
You start to sink,
Am
You want someone to bring you,
Am7
Something to cling to,
G
But you never hold on.
G
You think I don't watch,
Am
You walking right by me,
Am7
You pretend you don't know me,
G G7
But you never said much.
[Chorus]
D
All of the schemes,
G
That you laid out before me,
D
Will soon start to bore me,
G
Like any old crap.
Am
Everyone's watching,
D
While you're dragging your feet,
G C G D
Through the mud.
[Verse 2]
G
This room is cold,
Am
But I guess it's still shelter,
Am7
From wearing your sweater,
G
And taking your drugs.
G
But the needle is frozen now,
Am
And the drink it tastes bitter,
Am7
The dark smell of winter,
G G7
Yes it swallows, it swallows me up
[Chorus]
D
We are just thieves,
G
Lord we're begging for mercy,
D
We're hungry and thirsty,
G
But biting our toungues.
Am
Everyone's watching,
D
While we're dragging our feet,
G C G D
Through the mud.
[Bridge]
Em
I knew a man,
G
He drank every morning,
Em
Told me sad stories,
So lonely, so lonely,
G
Because, Because, Because,
Em
He never could see,
G
Oh his own face in the mirror,
A D
Oh and he lost who he was.
[Solo]
G Am
G Am Am7 G
[Verse 3]
G
Stand in the hall,
Am
Your hand in your pocket,
Am7
You don't have a ticket,
G
To just jump back on.
G
But the Seabreeze Motel,
Am
Has a wonderful poolside,
Am7
There's sand in the garden,
G G7
And Shotgun shells in the tub.
[Chorus]
D
Wish I was there,
G
Far away from this apartment,
D
I lay on your carpet,
G
And clean out my blood.
Am
I can't come out there,
D
When I'm dragging, oh baby, I'm dragging my feet,
G
Through the mud.
[Outro]
