See, GI know a nurse specialized in the worst
When you're a Efriend in need, she'll be your friend indeed.
When you Ccan't find your tongue and when your rational weeps,
She says Duh, huh, huh.
So why don't you Elean on Cme if you Gwanna?
Why don't you Elean on Cme for a wGhile?
Since you Gonly get Dhigh on the Eweekends, Cuh huh.
Why don't you Gfeed on Dme tonGight?
See GI know the taste of the spike in your brains
As you cErawl to me, a little closer to me.
I guess you're Cin the place that I used to be baby,
Now it's dDown to me, so simply down to me.
Oh, but I'Gm a fool and I fall apart too easily,
‘Cause yEou know me how I love to be with Madame MCisery.
Come and visit me, I'm on the 9D9th floor of apathy.
But still you can Elean on Cme if you Gwanna.
Why don't you Clean on me for a wGhile?
Since you Gonly get hDigh on the wEeekends, Cuh huh.
Why don't you Gfeed on Dme tonGight?
She said that there will Balways be a soft spot in my cCardiac aGrrest.
And I will Dlove you until I die from all of Bmthis.
And sComething tells me I will die aDlone.
But still you can Clean on me if you Gwanna.
So why don't you Elean on Cme for a wGhile?
Since you Gonly get Dhigh on the Eweekends, Cuh huh.
Why don't you Gfeed on Dme tonight?
(See, GI know the taste of the spike in your brains
As you craEwl to me a little Ccloser to me.)
Why don't you Gfeed on Eme tonight?
(Oh Madame GMisery, come and visit me,
Oh won't you Ecrawl to me, a little Ccloser to me?
Madame GMisery, come and vDisit me,
Oh won't you Ecrawl to me, a little Ccloser to me?)
And baby there will aGlways be a F#soft spot in my Ecardiac arCrest.
And I will Glove you 'til I F#die from aGll of tEhis, yCeah.
And there will Galways be a Dsoft spot in my Ecardiac arCrest.
And I will lGove you 'til I Ddie from tGhis.

See, I know a nurse specialized in the worst

When you're a friend in need, she'll be your friend indeed.

When you can't find your tongue and when your rational weeps,

She says uh, huh, huh.

E C G

So why don't you lean on me if you wanna?

E C G

Why don't you lean on me for a while?

G D E C

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh.

G D G

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

See I know the taste of the spike in your brains

As you crawl to me, a little closer to me.

I guess you're in the place that I used to be baby,

Now it's down to me, so simply down to me.

Oh, but I'm a fool and I fall apart too easily,

E C

‘Cause you know me how I love to be with Madame Misery.

Come and visit me, I'm on the 99th floor of apathy.

E C G

But still you can lean on me if you wanna.

C G

Why don't you lean on me for a while?

G D E C

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh.

G D G

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

B C G

She said that there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest.

D Bm

And I will love you until I die from all of this.

C D

And something tells me I will die alone.

C G

But still you can lean on me if you wanna.

E C G

So why don't you lean on me for a while?

G D E C

Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh.

G D

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

(See, I know the taste of the spike in your brains

E C

As you crawl to me a little closer to me.)

G E

Why don't you feed on me tonight?

(Oh Madame Misery, come and visit me,

Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me?

Madame Misery, come and visit me,

Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me?)
