F#m A C#m E

  F#m
I drank myself to sleep
A
Every night of last week
       C#m
Then I walked to the Boscov's store
   E
To buy a case of Crazy Horse


       F#m
Then I dreamt I stayed in the Sterling
       A
In the same bed as Kennedy
     C#m
Then Jackie and Johnny and Caroline
      E
Would ride up the mainline


         F#m
Then the last stop's in Carbondale
      A
Where John once found some German tale
        C#m
And his Irish and German son
        E
Wrote a story called "Killdragon"


         F#m
It was a huge hit in the youth group scene
        A
'Cuz it pledged, to all, celibacy

F#m


F#m
I saw him comin'
A
I saw him comin'
C#m
I saw him comin'
E
I saw him comin'


    F#m
And this year I'm gonna work on stability
A
This year I'm gonna try and keep my friends close to me
      C#m
And I hope one day to have half as much of my grandpa's integrity
    E
And I saw him comin'
I saw him comin'
I saw him comin'
I saw him comin'


F#m
I saw Kennedy in the hotel Sterling
    A
And he told me everything that I knew we'd both been feeling
   C#m
So we sat on the ledge and looked down toward the West


                   E
And that's where I drank myself to sleep

Just to get some company
               F#m
That's where I drank myself to sleep
        A
Just to get some company


F#m
I saw him comin'
A
I saw him comin'
C#m
I saw him comin'
E
I saw him comin'
