(intro) B5

B5                                        G5
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor
A5
Somewhere in the City
B5                                              G5
Three days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
A5                               E5                    G5
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight
        A5            B5   G5  A5               B5
What to say in my defense, I was imperfect tense
G5               A5               D5          A5         B5  G5
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
   A5                         B5
So won't you be my present sense

( B5 )

B5                                             G5
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
              A5                          B5
To come down off this murderous medication
                                           G5
Trying to remember, my reasons for running myself
         A5                         E5
Into the ground with such dedication
G5       A5            B5   G5  A5               B5
What to say in my defense, I was imperfect tense
G5               A5               D5          A5         B5  G5
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
   A5                        C5    B5   Bb5  A5
So won't you be my present sense

B5       A5  G5   F#5 A5
Cos it's not meant to be
D5 C5 B5   A5  G5
 I am lost at sea
  G5  F#5   E5   A5 A5
So mermaids sing to me

D5
Of the better times and the things that can be
         G5
Like the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea
       D5
Or the beatings and sleeping and times that I took
       G5                                             ( E5 )
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood

         G5                 A5
And I've nothing to say in my defense
    G5                    A5
I'm far from perfect I'm still tense
     G5                 A5
They say that love can change you once
       G5                 A5
Please say that love can change me once
      B5
Come on change me
