Intro: Bm
(Occasionally hammer on and off from the D, G, and B strings. This may not be right, but 
it sounds alright.)

Bm                                        G
Naked and retched and retching on a hotel bathroom floor,
A
somewhere in the City
Bm                                              G
Three days no sleeping, not eating, not feeling good anymore
            A                   Em                          G
Drenched in sweat and self-pity now, it's not a pretty sight


G       A         Bm       G
What to say in my defense,
G A             Bm
I was imperfect tense
G                 A              D          A        
G  Em
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Em           A                  Bm
So won't you be my present sense

Bm
(Occasionally hammer on and off from 4th fret to 2nd on the D string)

Bm                                             G
Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking a long long time
                      A
To come down off this murderous medication
Bm                                         G
Trying to remember, my reasons for running myself
         A                    Em      G
into the ground with such dedication


G       A         Bm       G
What to say in my defense,
G A             Bm
I was imperfect tense
G                 A              D          A        
G  Em
Used to have such balance, but I don't know where it went
Em           A             Cadd9--A   Em7--A
So won't you be my present sense,     sense


    Bm   A   G     D  A
Cos it's not meant to be
D G  Bm   A  G
I am lost at sea
   Em D     A    G  A
So mermaids sing to me
       D
Of the better times and the things that can be
         Bm
Like the diamonds in the Mediterranean sea
       D
Or the beatings and sleeping and times that I took
       Bm
And of washing the drink and the drugs from my blood
         G                 A
And I've nothing to say in my defense
    G                A
I'm far from perfect I'm still tense
     G                 A
They say that love can change you once
       G                 A
Please say that love can change me once
        G
Come on change me

End on G
