G Em C D7
you’re a lonely alcoholic , with a tendency to w ( h ) ine
G Em C D7
well , you speak it and you drink it , and bore us all the time
G Em C D7
say you drink out of your sorrow for you’ve got no one to love
G Em C D7
but , tell me , who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic?

G Em C D7

G Em C D7
you’re a stressed out single mother , who has clearly been harassed
G Em C D7
well , you can’t predict the future , for you can’t erase the past
G Em C D7
but your baby isn’t going anywhere but up
G Em C D7
so join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers

G Em C D7
writing songs about misfortunes and other people’s crimes
G Em C D7

G Em C D7

G Em C D7
