[Intro] G G G G D D Em Em C C Am Am C C G [Verse 1]
G                D
Heaven, I need a drug

    Em                              C
Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup

    Am                                    C
And looking down she tells you things are looking up
Take another slug [Verse 2]
G               D
Heaven, I had a dream

    Em                             C
But now my life's a nightmare of efficiency

    Am                               C
She rattles off the things she never got for free
Gearing up to scream [Chorus]
G D   Em     C    
  I remember when

   G          D               Em      C
I had you and you had so much promise then

    G                D               Em     C
You promised me that you would never leave again

      Am                      C
To be broken you were made Adelaide

G                D
Heaven, I need a rest

  Em                            C
I recognized the voices talking in my head

   Am                              C
I couldn't make out everything the voices said
Loving you is a test [Chorus]
G D   Em     C

Heaven, I need a drink

    Em                                C
I'm here because they're paying me to do my thing

     Am                       C
They never specify what it is I should bring
I'm right up on the brink [Chorus]
