[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
