GLying 'neath this table, i got an empty C/Gbottel Din my Ghand
and i Dwant to go and find you but C/Gi can hardly Gstand
and the Gmusic that is playing in the C/Gcorners sDoft and Glow
makes me Dwish that i was sober and had C/Gsomeplace else to Ggo
and i Emwant to stay Dawake to C/Gwatch this new day Grise
cause i Emknow that i have Dnightmares everyC/Gtime i Dclose my Geyes
i've got a Gpain in my foot from walking but i got C/Gnowhere Delse to Gbe
and Dsometimes i feel helpless like C/Gman who drowned at Gsea
and i Emwant to stay Dawake to C/Gwatch this new day Grise
cause i Emknow that i have Dnightmares everyC/Gtime i Dclose my Geyes
ive got Gtre-mlbes and sha-kes and im C/Glying Don the Gfloor
im too Dhungry to care so ill C/Gprobably drink some Gmore
and i Emwant to stay Dawake to C/Gwatch this new day Grise
cause i Emknow that i have Dnightmares everyC/Gtime i Dclose my Geyes
GLying 'neath this table, i got an empty C/Gbottel Din my Ghand
and i Dwant to go and find you but C/Gi can hardly Gstand
and the Gmusic that is playing in the C/Gcorners sDoft and Glow
makes me Dwish that i was sober and had C/Gsomeplace else to Ggo
