[Verse]
G D
Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
A D G D
He loves the colour white
G D
He'll stay in there for hours
A D G
Sometimes through the night
[Verse]
D
Mom and Dad wait in the kitchen
A D G
Drinking coffee and holding hands
D
They talk around in circles
A D G D
'Cause they don't understand
[Verse]
G D
Sometimes he looks through you
A D G D
As if you were not there
G D
He doesn't know it hurts you
A D G
He's gone too far to care
[Verse]
D
Then he'll steal your money
A D G
Steal your love and bleed you dry
D
Give it all to the Candy Man
A D G D
Who taught him how to fly
[Instrumental]
C G D A D G D
[Verse]
G D
Lately he's been clever
A D G D
He shoots up between his toes
G D
That way he hides the track marks
A D G
And he thinks that no one knows
[Verse]
D
It makes you want to hold him
A D G
And help him through the night
D
Put your arms around him
A D G D
And tell him it's alright
[Verse]
G D
He's there in every city
A D G D
He's there in every town
G D
Hanging in 'til the next day
A D G
Another deal going down
[Verse]
D
But he won't let you hold him
A D G
Or help him through the night
D
Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
A D
'Cause he loves the colour white
