Em
Watch your mouth
G Am
your speech is slurred enough
C Em
that you might swallow your tounge
G
you'd want to give up the ghost
Am C
with a little more poise than that
Em G
Or was it God who chokes in these situations?
Am C Em G Am C
Running late? No no, he called in. he called in
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G

where you are a cut above all the rest
C
sick and sad patients on first name basis
with all the top physicians
[Chorus]
G
Prescribed Pills
Em Am
to offset the shakes

G Em Am C
take it a day at a time
[Verse 2]
Em G Am
That's when you stutter something profound
C
to the support on the line
Em
and with the way you've been talking
G Am C
every word gets you a step closer to hell.
Em G
No, I just can't help it.
Am C
To say what everyone else is thinking
Em G Am C
let me state the obvious again
[Chorus] (x2)
G

Em G
I am alone in this bed, house and head
Am C
she never fixes this but at least she

I am alone in this bed

N.C.
makes me forget
[Chorus] (x2)
G
