[VERSE 1]
G Dm
Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene
C Am
Thinking fog and sand was gonna keep me clean
G Dm
Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address
C Am
Where they went instead I could only guess
[CHORUS]
G Dm
Tell the barfly who runs this town
A#
You won't get high
C
You'll just get down
G Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime
A#
You won't get high
C
So do the time

[VERSE 2]
G Dm
Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed
C Am
And the tide crept high like a watery ghost
G Dm
And no one needs your kind of a dope sick clown
C Am
You can always find sitting one seat down
[CHORUS]
G Dm
Tell the barfly who rolls the dice
A#
Your numbers up
C
So roll it twice
G Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime
A#
You won't get high
C
So do the time

[BRIDGE]
Am G D
Honey, I'm not the one who's of use to you now
Am G D
I get an hour's sleep at night and I can't see how
Am
You deserve all the mess that even guilt won't allow
