[Intro] E7 Cmaj7 G Am [Verse 1]
E7                                    Cmaj7
When the last of the East Coast money ran dry

G                                        Am
And the casually-dressed bill collectors started casually dropping on by

E7                 Cmaj7
And the residuals, but there weren't any more residuals

G                              Am
At least several months behind on the payments to certain individuals
[Chorus]
                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6
Mouth full

      E7
Blood capsules

                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6
Mouth full

      E7
Blood capsules
[Verse 2]
E7                                  Cmaj7
I'm off the juice for seven months, I learn to like living clean

G                              Am
But there just isn't any money on the independent scene

E7                                  Cmaj7
Not even if you're cutting corners, staying in nights, eating alone

G                                  Am
Somebody's gotta pay the gas bill, it's not gonna go away on its own
[Chorus]
                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6
Mouth full

      E7
Blood capsules

                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6

[Verse 3]
Am                         Bm
I'm the biggest guy in the bank line

Em
Everybody else looks tiny

Am                       Bm
I could almost smell the fear

       G                         C
On the lunch-hour car salesman behind me
[Solo] Em Cmaj7 G Am [Verse]
E7                            Cmaj7
I know this isn't gonna work. I guess I'll see ya when I see ya.

G                            Am
I can't work any other jobs. This was my last and best idea.
[Chorus]
                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6
Mouth full

      E7
Blood capsules

                    Bb6
I strolled into the lobby

      A6
Mouth full

      E7
