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
And I hope that I feel better Once I'm back on Sugar Street, ah Sugar Street
