Intro: Bm
(Occasionally hammer on and off from the D, G, and B strings. This may not be right, but 
it sounds alright.)

Bm (x24432@1)                                      GNaked (320003@1)and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor,
Asomewhere (x02220@1)in the City
Bm (x24432@1)                                            GThree (320003@1)days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
            A (x02220@1)                 Em (022000@1)                        GDrenched (320003@1)in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight

G (320003@1)     A (x02220@1)       Bm (x24432@1)     GWhat (320003@1)to say in my defense,
G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A             BmI (x24432@1)was imperfect tense
G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)            D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)      
G  Em
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Em (022000@1)         A (x02220@1)                BmSo (x24432@1)won't you be my present sense

Bm(Occasionally (x24432@1)hammer on and off from 4th fret to 2nd on the D string)

Bm (x24432@1)                                           GBreaking, (320003@1)I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
                      ATo (x02220@1)come down off this murderous medication
Bm (x24432@1)                                       GTrying (320003@1)to remember, my reasons for running myself
         A (x02220@1)                  Em (022000@1)    Ginto (320003@1)the ground with such dedication

G (320003@1)     A (x02220@1)       Bm (x24432@1)     GWhat (320003@1)to say in my defense,
G (320003@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A             BmI (x24432@1)was imperfect tense
G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)            D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)      
G  Em
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Em (022000@1)         A (x02220@1)           Cadd9--A   Em7--A
So won't you be my present sense,     sense

Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)ACos (x02220@1)it's not meant to be

       DOf (xx0232@1)the better times and the things that can be
         BmLike (x24432@1)the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea
       DOr (xx0232@1)the beatings and sleeping and times that I took
       BmAnd (x24432@1)of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
         G (320003@1)               AAnd (x02220@1)I've nothing to say in my defense
    G (320003@1)              AI'm (x02220@1)far from perfect I'm still tense
