[C#]
[E] [C#]
I'm tripping over dumb drunks at [A] a party My [B] girlfriend just ran off with [C#] the DJ
I gave her everything [F#] but she [A] refused it It don't [B] matter, she don't know how to [C#] use
it [E] My dominance is dwindling
[F#] Look at the shape I'm in [E] Where's the girl?
Where's the [F#] wine?
I ain't thirsty but I'm standing in line I'll have the [C#] usual
These
[F#m] [C#]
silhouettes tumbling on the [A] dance floor Pink [B] elephants flowing through a [C#] trap door
Sixty cigarettes a day cause I'm [A] nervous When [B] will that chick [C#] serve us?
[E] I used to be a good boy Living the [F#] good life
But fifty thousand kisses later She was a [E] housewife
She was good I was a [F#] pie
I ain't thirsty but I'm standing in line [G] I'll have the [C#] usual
[C#m] [C#]
[A] [F#]
[D] [C#] [G#m]
[C#] [A] [F#]
[D] [C#] Big [C#m]
[C#] Jim says the second [A] coming's coming I think he's seeing [B] double or [C#] something
Huh?
You can hang around waiting for [A] the other end I can't win [B] but I've seen enough [C#] man
I got a drink pad I
[E] bet the whiskey keeps the doctor away
[F#] A little more and it's just a day [E] I had a future but she just passed out
I'm on [F#] a streak till I see what it is I'm on [C#] a streak and I'll have the usual
On the rocks, for the Swiss I'd [C#m] never be getting a drink around here
[C#] I don't buy
[C#m]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
