Intro: G-C-G-C
G C G C
The pinch, one inch, half a head and half dead,
G C G C
No pain, no gain, there's a million voices in my brain,
D G C D
It's like a game of hide and seek and I play every day,
D G
I close my eyes and I count to ten,
Eb F G
One two three and everybody runs away.
F-C G-F-C
I'm in a bad way, it's such a bad way,
G A F C
Can't you give a damn on a better day,
G Eb A C G
I can't come out to play, I'm in such a bad bad way.

Purple leather makes it better, a purple coat or a purple sweater,
G C G C
Clothes make the girl I know, but I can't get dressed when I'm this low,
D G C D
I'm like a self-made hand grenade but I can't pull the pin,
D G
I set the bait and sit back and wait,
Eb F G
And then I try to see if I can reel you in
F-C G-F-C
I'm in a bad way, it's such a bad way,

Can't you give a damn on a better day,

Go away, don't go away, now go away, yeah.

A little peach, a little blue, a little water and I'm good as new,

I want to swallow all of you but I'm biting more than I can chew.
