Song and lyrics by Dave Simonett
Capo 4th fret
Em_______________________Am_________________Em
Well I ain't your baby I ain't your baby now
Em____________________Am_____________________Em
Them holy rollers got kicked right out of town
______C_____________________G
It's dark where I've been stayin'
D________________________Em
Don't you worry come on in
__________G__________________D
Well I've finally found a friend
D________________Em
I've found a friend
C____________G
Codeine, Codeine
______________D_______________Em
You're the nicest thing I've seen
_______Am
For a while
_______Em
For a while
Well you hold my hand as I step into the room
And all these people they'll all be fading soon
It's whisper time remembered through armor thorns and knives
And it's all I got left to hold on to
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while
For a while
Well you can keep your dusty bottles on your shelf
And you can keep your words of wisdom to yourself
I love you darling so
Why can't you let me go
Before you find me hanging in my cell
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while
For a while
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while
For a while
