Chords

[Intro] A D C#m D [Verse 1]
A  D        C#m  D             A  D        C#m  D
14 hours ahead - a head that's heavier than lead

             E
And I've got toothpicks in my eyes

             D
A smile more yellow than the sky

           A         D      C#m D
I've got a song stuck in my head

          A    D             C#m D
One that I miss more than my bed

       E
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman

      D
Who's drinking bleach instead

              A  D C#m D
I'm much like him
[Verse 2]
A  D         C#m D           A   D            C#m D
14 hours unfed - I spent the last cents in my head

                   E
They're worth much less than pennies now

             D
Food for one thought shared with a crowd

              A       D       C#m D
And I've got a painting in my head

         A        D        C#m D
A deeper blue bled thicker red

              E
More red than Bloody Marys, coast to coast

  D
I hate flying I said

              A
That's what I said
[Chorus]
A            D
Sad, sorry excuse

          E
Just like everything that made her smile

    D
And everything I use

           A                  D
I won't go back to the way it was

        E
I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint,

   D              E         D      A   D C#m D
To take away this buzz that I call you
[Verse 3]
A  D        C#m  D             A  D        C#m  D
14 hours ahead - a head that's heavier than lead

           E
Toothpicks pry open my in my eyes

             D
A smile more yellow than the sky

           A         D      C#m D
I've got a song stuck in my head

          A    D             C#m D
One that I miss more than my bed

       E
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman

      D
Who's drinking bleach instead

              A  D C#m D
I'm much like him
