Introduction:

                          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?
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
             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
