	  		Em          
Watch your mouth 
     G                  Am 
your speech is slurred enough 
     C                      Em 
that you might swallow your tounge 
                          G 
you'd want to give up the ghost 
                   Am        C 
with a little more poise than that 
Em                          G 
Or was it god who chokes in these situations? 
Am               C             Em            G   Am   C 
Running Late? No no, he called in. he called in-----. 

Em		      G 	      
the hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway     
				  Am	        
where you are a cut above all the rest	     
 				      C      
sick and sad patients on first name basis 

with all the top physicians         


Em 
Perscribed Pills                        
   G            Am 
to offset the shakes  
               C 
to offset the pills         {Chorus} 

you know you should 
Em   G             Am    C 
take it a day at a time 


            Em  G                     Am 
That's when you stutter something profound 
          C 
to the support on the line 
             Em 
and with the way you've been talking 
G               Am            C 
every word gets you a step closer to hell. 
Em               G 
No, I just can't help it. 
                Am        C 
To say what everyone else is thinking 
Em     G         Am      C 
let me state the obvious again 


{Chorus x2} 

     Em                 G 
I am alone in this bed, house and head 
Am              C           
she never fixes this but at least she 
Em   G       
I am alone in this bed 
Am              C 
she never fixes that but at least she 
n.C. 
makes me forget 


{Chorus x2}
