Am E7 F E
I did cocaine in Memphis, Tennessee
Am E7 F E
Underneath the ghost of Elvis Presley
Am E7 F E
No, he didn't do a goddamn thing for me
Except make me wanna go and do more
Am E7 F E
It's a habit that I like to abuse
Am B7 F E
After a long, hard day of being misused
Am E7
My socks are gone
F E
Somebody stole my shoes
And now my feet are cracked
And blistered and sore
Am E7 F E
Wrap me up another needle and spoon
Am E7 F E
I'll be there soon, up there with you, ooh

She was the circumstance
F E
That I could not surpass
Am E7
All my viable solutions

Must have truly sounded crass

Well, I stood up on my feet

I fell back down on my ass
Am E7
They must see I'm sick
F E
Twisted to the core
Am E7 F E
It's something I don't know how to explain
Am E7
How this parasite inside me's
F E
Rearranging my entire brain
Am E7
I swear sometimes I feel
F E
As though I've gone insane
Then I see I really wanted more
Am E7 F E
Looks like I've dug this hole I'm in too soon
Am E7
I ain't got no moons to light this road
F E
That I've been travelling blue
Am E7
I've been stuck here with these folks
F E
That I know
Who left that ghost behind to show me
F E
How to smile when I'm thinking of you
( Am E7 F E )
