[B] [Em] [Am] I'm counting [Em] back [Am] the number of [Em] the steps [Am] it took for [Em] me to get [Eb] back on [C] the wagon [B] of the weekend
[Em] I'll [Am] use the [E] hour to [Em] die [Am] now to [G] prove that I'll [A] get [Am] home [C] with my [D] imagination
[G] If [Am] they find [C] the body [D] in the basement [G] in [Am] the very [C] house that [D] she was raised [Em] in
[A] [Am] I'm taking [Em] down [Am] the number [Em] of the times [A] so when we [Em] get the sign [Eb] from God
[C] I'll be the [B] first to call [Em] them
I'm [Am] taking [Em] back [Am] the number [G] of the beast
[Am] Cause six [C] is not a [D] pretty number
[G] Eight [Am] or three [C] are [D] definitely better
[G] A [Am] is for [C] the address [D] on the letter [G] to [Am] my [D] alcoholic [Em] friends
[Am]
[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am]
[B] [Em] I'm [Am] trying [Em] hard [Am] not to [Em] be ashamed
[Am] Not to [G] know the name [A] of [Am] who [C] is waking [D] up beside [G] me
Or [Am] the date, [C] the season, [D] or the [G] city
But [Am] at least [C] the ceiling's very [D]
[G] pretty
And [Am] if you [C] are holding [D] it against [E] me
Hold [Eb] me on [C] my best [B] behavior
[Em] Taking [B] shots for [C] Mother [E] Nature
Once my [B] fist [C] is in [B] the [Em] cupboard
Love [Eb] is [C] never falling [B]
over
[C] [A]
[Em] [Am] And [Em] [Am]
[Em] [Am] [B] [G] if the hour should [Am] I choose [C] a noble [D] occupation
[G] If [Am] I did [C] I'd only [D] show up late [G] and sick
[Am] And they [C] would stare at [D] me with [G] hatred
Plus [Am] my only [C] natural [D] talent wasted [G] on [Am] my [C] [D] alcoholic
[G] friends
And [Am] my [C] [D] alcoholic [G]
friends [Am] I'm [C] hurting
[D] [G]
And [Am] my [C] [D] alcoholic [Em] friends
