intro : G5 D5 Em x 3
D5 E5 Em x 1

Em G5 D5 Em
he bought two fifths of lead – free gasoline
Em G5 D5 Em
said , the bottle is dusty , but my engine is clean
Em G5 D5 Em
he bought a nice blue suit with the money he could find
Em G5 D5 Em
if his bride didn’t like it st . peter wouldn’t mind

chorus :

G5 D5 E5 G5 D5 E5
now i lie here so out – of – breath and over – opiated
G5 D5 E5 G5 D5 Em
maybe i couldn’t catch up , no but maybe he could of waited

well the medicine man started seeing red
you think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head
addicted to approval , addicted to the air
it was “see if you like it or see you on up there”
