Intro: Am
(Occasionally hammer on and off from the D, G, and B strings. This may not be right, but it sounds alright.)
Am F Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor, G somewhere in the City Am F Three days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore G Dm F Drenched in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight F G Am F What to say in my defense, F G Am I was imperfect tense
F G C G
F Dm Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went Dm G Am So won't you be my present sense Am (Occasionally hammer on and off from 4th fret to 2nd on the D string) Am F Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time G To come down off this murderous medication Am F Trying to remember, my reasons for running myself G Dm F into the ground with such dedication F G Am F What to say in my defense, F G Am I was imperfect tense
F G C G
F Dm Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Em A Cadd9--A Em7--A
So won't you be my present sense, sense
Am G F C G Cos it's not meant to be C F Am G F I am lost at sea Dm C G F G So mermaids sing to me C Of the better times and the things that can be Am Like the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea C Or the beatings and sleeping and times that I took Am And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood F G And I've nothing to say in my defense F G I'm far from perfect I'm still tense F G They say that love can change you once F G Please say that love can change me once F Come on change me
End on G
