E5         
Watch your mouth
     G5                  A5
your speech is slurred enough
     C5                      E5
that you might swallow your tounge
                          G5
you'd want to give up the ghost
                   A5        C5
with a little more poise than that
E5                          G5
Or was it god who chokes in these situations?
A5               C5             E5            G5   A5   C5
Running Late? No no, he called in. he called in-----.


E5                  G5            
the hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway    
                          A5             
where you are a cut above all the rest          
                               C5     
sick and sad patients on first name basis

with all the top physicians        


E5
Perscribed Pills                       
   G5            A5
to offset the shakes 
               C5
to offset the pills         [Chorus]

you know you should
E5   G5             A5    C5
take it a day at a time


            E5  G5                     A5
That's when you stutter something profound
          C5
to the support on the line
             E5
and with the way you've been talking
G5               A5            C5
every word gets you a step closer to hell.
E5               G5
No, I just can't help it.
                A5        C5
To say what everyone else is thinking
E5     G5         A5      C5
let me state the obvious again

[Chorus x2]


     E5                 G5
I am alone in this bed, house and head
A5              C5          
she never fixes this but at least she
E5   G5      
I am alone in this bed
A5              C5
she never fixes that but at least she
N/C/
makes me forget


[Chorus x2]
