Verse
                Am
We'll take the copper from the work-site
Em
Meet me here at midnight
D                            Cmaj7
They ain't got a camera or a guard

C
Write my own prescription
   Em
If I can't get a fix, son
 D                       Cmaj7
Shit's about to get real hard


Verse
C
Molly don't believe me
Em
Says she's gonna leave me
     D                      Cmaj7
The kids won't even know my name

       C
Put a gallon in the step-side
Em
With a little help
    D                      Cmaj7
By morning I won't feel no pain


Instrumental
Am  Em  D  Cmaj7
C   Em  D  Cmaj7


Verse
Am
Never thought I'd wind up
Em
This far behind
        D                          Cmaj7
Just a couple years back we had it made

       C
I was emptying my bladder
      Em
On  a 20-ft ladder
             D
Should have climbed down
                      Cmaj7
And found myself some shade


Verse
     C
The doctor took a quick look
    Em
And I got out the checkbook
     D                         Cmaj7
And left with a pocket full of pills

        C
Now my back's still hurting
        Em
And I'm too weak for working
       D                          C
And I can't keep up with all the bills


Chorus
G                                C             Cmaj7
  She used to wake me up with cooooffee every morning
         Em                D           C
And I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

G                                    C          Cmaj7
  She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D                 C        Cmaj7
But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore


Instrumental/Solo
Am  Em  D  Cmaj7
Cmaj7  Em  D  Cmaj7


Verse
m
I was all set up to do it
          Em
But some bastard beat me to it
         D                     Cmaj7
Ain't a copper pipe left on the lot

       C
Got a loan out on the truck
         Em
But I'm running out of luck
         D                       C
And the title is the only thing I've got


Verse
 C
Molly's gonna leave me
EM
Says she don't believe me
D                         Cmaj7
I got nothing left to lie about

       C
She's going back to Bixby
Em
Tired of trying to fix me
D                        C
Says I got some shit to figure out


Chorus
G                                C             Cmaj7
  She used to wake me up with cooooffee every morning
         Em                D           C
And I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

G                                    C          Cmaj7
  She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D                 C
But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore


Chorus
G                                C             Cmaj7
  She used to wake me up with cooooffee every morning
         Em             D                C
And I'd act like I was sleeping 'til she walked back through the door

G                                    C
  She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma
     Em               D                 C
But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore


Outro
Am Em  D  C
