Tom : D

Last time I was sober, man I felt bad

Worst hangover that I ever had

It took six hamburgers and scotch all night
E5
Nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
[Refrão]
C5
'Cos if you wanna run cool
D5
If you wanna run cool
C5 D5
If you wanna run cool, you got to run

On heavy, heavy fuel
C5
Heavy, heavy fuel
D5
Heavy, heavy fuel
[Próxima Parte]
E5
My life makes perfect sense
E5
Lust and food and violence
E5
Sex and money are my major kicks
E5
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
My chicks loves a man who's strong
The things they'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song
E5
I dont care if my liver is hanging by a thread
E5
Dont care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
E5
When my ugly big car wont climb this hill
E5
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C5
Heavy, heavy fuel
D5 E5
Heavy, heavy fuel
