G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)               AmI (x02210@1)heard that you went out last night and you looked beautiful 
C (x32010@1)                         G (320003@1)                 CJust (x32010@1)like a bat beneath the moonlight. I stayed home took a Vicodin... 
Am (x02210@1)                          C (x32010@1)                       GSometimes (320003@1)it's all that I can do when I think about the president 
C (x32010@1)                   Am (x02210@1)          CHow (x32010@1)did he become the president? 
G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)               
And I stayed awake for a day or two, 
Am (x02210@1)                       CI (x32010@1)thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news 
G (320003@1)                C (x32010@1)                    Am (x02210@1)  
And there are some things I'll never understand 
                      C (x32010@1)              GWhy (320003@1)a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man

G (320003@1)                       CAnd (x32010@1)I scratch these words into a black notebook 
Am (x02210@1)                     CI (x32010@1)wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look 
G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)      
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere 
Am (x02210@1)                         CTo (x32010@1)think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear 
F (133211@1)   Am (x02210@1)              C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)
