[Verse]
E5   Emaj7      B
The drum wakes up.

E5   Emaj7   A
He'll have a real black eye this time.

E5   Emaj7   B
Hungover dream.

E5   Emaj7     A
He hung around too long last night.

E5   Emaj7      B
The drum gets up.

E5   Emaj7  A
How will he feel about this one?

E5   Emaj7        B
The dream throws up.

E5   Emaj7   A
(He didn't feel too good this time.)
[Chorus]
E       B
He's got it all.

E       A
He's got it figured out.

E          B
Dream in the hall,

E          A
back in the hospital.

E       B
I'm not concerned.

E           A
He'll get it straight this time –

A         B
And if he doesn't, fuck it –

[Verse] (Palm Muted)
E5   Emaj7    B
The gun goes off.

E5   Emaj7       A
He's always off about something.

E5   Emaj7      B
The drum just nods:

E5   Emaj7      A
the drum ain't listening at all.

E5   Emaj7      B
The drum gets drunk,

E5   Emaj7           A
the drum reads James Joyce in the drunk.

E5   Emaj7       B
The dream falls down.

E5   Emaj7       A
The drum's face breaks the dreams fall.
[Chorus]
E     B
He don't have shit.

E      A
He's learned to live with it.

E         B
The drum's in debt –

E     A
you owe me don't forget –

E     B
That 20 bucks,

E        A                  A         B
interest and moral support – and if you don't I swear –
