Codeine

VERSE
 
G          D                 Em7   Cadd9 
If there's one thing I can't stand 
G         D                  Em7       Cadd9 
it's this bar and this cover band 
G         D                      Em7                       Cadd9 
trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.' 
G      D                 Em7       Cadd9 
That's one thing I can't stand. 

G          D                 Em7       Cadd9 
If there's one thing I can't take 
G          D                 Em7       Cadd9 
it's the sound that a woman makes 
G          D                 Em7                     Cadd9 
about five seconds after her heart begins to break. 
G      D                 Em7       Cadd9 
That's one thing I can't take. 


BRIDGE
 
Bm                                Cadd9 
She should be home by now but she ain't. 
Bm                            Cadd9

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

VERSE
 
G    D               Em7       Cadd9 
Them eyes was big as stars 
G      D                  Em7       Cadd9 
when I saw you behind the bar. 
G                  D              Em7                    Cadd9 
I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are. 
G             D               Em7       Cadd9 
But girl them eyes was big as stars. 

G         D                     Em7       Cadd9 
It sounds funny when you say my name. 
G                D                    Em7       Cadd9 
It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing 
G             D                  Em7              Cadd9 
and you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain. 
G            D                     Em7       Cadd9 
It sounds so funny when you say my name. 


BRIDGE 

Bm                                   Cadd9 
You oughta come home tonight but you won't. 
Bm                                 Cadd9 
I wish we knew how to fight but we don't.

VERSE 

G           D          Em7       Cadd9 
Darlin' I'm not one to judge 
G        D                          Em7     Cadd9 
but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good. 
G      D             Em7       Cadd9 
Got no answers of my own 
G            D                      Em7            Cadd9 
but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should. 

G          D                 Em7       Cadd9 
If there's two things that I hate 
G              D                  Em7       Cadd9 
it's having to cook and trying to date. 
G       D                   Em7                  Cadd9 
Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.' 
G        D                 Em7       Cadd9 
That's a few things that I hate. 


BRIDGE 

Bm                     Cadd9 
If I call when I ain't drunk 
Bm                        Cadd9 
This old boat'll still be sunk
