Just like a bat beneath the moonlight. I stayed home took a Vicodin

G(PM)          C(PM)          Am(PM)      C(PM)          G        C  Am
Sometimes it's all that I can do when I think about the president 

Am      C              G         C Am  C    
How did he become the president? 

G      C         Am      C                 
And I stayed awake for a day or two, 

G           C             Am             C
I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news 

G          C         Am          C         G    
And there are some things I'll never understand 

G     C               Am         C       G C   Am C
Why a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man 

F       C              F
And you never write me letters 

F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 

F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 

G                         G     C     Am  C  G  C  Am  C
Without you I don't sleep, Just dream 

G        C               Am        C
And I scratch these words into a black notebook 

G             C         Am            C
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look 

G      C    Am               C        
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere 

G             C             Am                C         F
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear 

F    C              Am            G(PM)    
I see Arizona stars from here but Peter Pan is miles away 

F       C              F
And you never write me letters 

F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 

F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 

G                        F
Without you I don't have

F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 

                G                   F
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep 

F                      Am
This is the last straw

                  F                                        
This is the last straw she said

                            C(PM)
And I won't wait for you forever 

                          Am(PM)      
While you run around like JFK

                                     G(PM)
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life 

                        F(PM)                         F      
And I'll be damned if I am going out, I will not go out that way
C Am G F
F       C              F
And you never write me letters 

F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 

F            Am                 G
So I could stay warm when I was gone 

G                        
Without you I don't have 

F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 

                G                     F
That hide in my head and keep me 'til dawn 

F                     (Stop)
I think, this is the last straw.
