VERSE 1:
               DD*                         DD*
What's the blues  when you've got the greys?
                  DD*                     DD*
I think I've given up, my body's giving in
             GD*           GD* 
In a building,  I lie still
          GD*             GD*    
And then I turn back over again
  DD*  x4
            GD*                GD*
In a building  that has heating,
                          GD*          D  
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat,   dried-on stains
CHORUS 1:
I am Dsick of feeling sick and not throwing up,
It's Ain my stomach and you seem to be stuck
And it Dwon't work its way through my gut and just go aAway
I Dwoke up this afternoon and thought maybe today
The Aworld might be a more colorful place
But Dno luck, it's still just Agrey,
Come back Dhere
  DD*  x4
VERSE 2: (almost the same as VERSE 1 except at the end)
Sweat, sweat, sweat, sweat, dried-on Astains
CHORUS 2:
OUTRO:   DD*  x4
