Here comes Jezebel sweet as the morning

Holds out a cup and I'm tempted to drink

I'm fighting but oh the disease has got me 

    D                          G
But what is this sickness that has no name

                           C                                 
Who are these friends that kill me with kindness

I don't know the rules but I'm trapped in the game
