Intro G#5(one bit)- C#5(16bits)Palm mute
1st verse
3 AM, I'm drunk again, 
My head is standing underneath my puke, 
So make it stF#5op, I'm getting G#5off. 
Make it stF#5op, I'm getting G#5off. 
SC#5edatives and dizzy spells 
And feeling like a salad in my puke, 
So make it stF#5op, I'm getting G#5off. 
Make it stF#5op I'm getting G#5off. 
Bridge
Well, slF#5ipped into a coma once agC#5ain. 
WhF#5ere's my organ donor? 
Lend a hG#5and. 
Chorus
So whC#5en you think you're F#5all alG#5one, 
NC#5o one's left to cF#5ome arG#5ound, 
DrC#5op like flies and F#5empathG#5ize, 
Cause I knF#5ow that I will sC#5omedG#5ay, 
And I knF#5ow that I will sC#5uffocG#5ate, 
SF#5uffocG#5ate, sC#5uffocG#5ate, sC#5uffocG#5ate. 
2nd Verse - Same chords as first
One night stands and cheap regrets, 
I take another drag off of my cigarette, 
So stop, I'm getting off. 
Make it stop, I'm getting off. 
One last stop for one track mind, 
Just give me shelter, give me give me something. 
Make it stop, I'm getting off. 
Make it stop, I'm getting off. 
Bidge - Same as first
Well, slipped into a coma once again. 
Where's my organ donor? 
Lend a hand. 
So when you think you're all alone, 
No one's left to come around, 
Drop like flies and empathize, 
Cause I know that I will someday, 
And I know that I will suffocate, 
Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate
Outro F#5-C#5- G#5and end.
