[VERSE 1]
G                                          Dm
Spent my nights in a sleeping bag smelling kerosene
         C                      Am
Thinking fog and sand was gonna keep me clean
G                               Dm
Feeding all the bluejays at the wrong address
           C                    Am
Where they went instead I could only guess
 
 
[CHORUS]
         G          Dm
Tell the barfly who runs this town
    A#
You won't get high
       C
You'll just get down
         G           Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime
    A#
You won't get high
   C
So do the time

[VERSE 2]
G                                  Dm
Took a breath full of iodine and I overdosed
        C                      Am
And the tide crept high like a watery ghost
    G                           Dm
And no one needs your kind of a dope sick clown
        C                   Am
You can always find sitting one seat down
 
 
[CHORUS]
         G          Dm
Tell the barfly who rolls the dice
     A#
Your numbers up
   C
So roll it twice
         G           Dm
Tell the barfly it's on his dime
    A#
You won't get high
   C
So do the time
 
   G         Dm        C       G

[BRIDGE]
       Am                       G          D
Honey, I'm not the one who's of use to you now
Am                                 G           D
I get an hour's sleep at night and I can't see how
                                   Am
You deserve all the mess that even guilt won't allow
