Little Blue Pills

• D

Verse 1:
D
Little blue pills
D
Bottles of codeine lying
Em              Bm
On the shelf at dawn.
D
Sleeping soundly
D
With traffic gently humming
Em             Bm
Down the boulevard.

Chorus:
           G
I hate the morning light
             D
Because with every night
         G
A little earlier
            Bm
It seems to get too bright
            G
It squeezes through the blinds
            D
Dissolves into my eyes
Em                   A
And I hate the sunny side.

Verse 2:
Calling good friends
And calling total strangers
Meet me at the bar.
Throw the card down
And leave the fucker open
Like I turned twenty-one.

Chorus (I guess?)
And when it's dark inside
I'll take a taxi ride
Down to the eastern side
Before it gets too bright
I pull the curtains down
I let my head spin round
And my ears ring over the sound.
My ears ring over the sound.

Verse 3:
I upped the dosage
and cleared my bank account 
'til everything was gone.
Now the circles 
around my eyes grow wider.
The lights are always on.

Chorus:
And every single night
I hold the covers tight
Until I toss and turn
And see the creeping light
I turn things off and on 
and on and off and on.

Outro/bridge:
      D         C       Bm              A           Em           A
And I sleep for fifteen minutes like an infant 'til alarm clocks buzz
            D             C                Bm           A             Em
Through the cracks of the windows from the neighboring apartment until I 
     A
wake up
        D         C             Bm                 A         Em     
So I'll slip next paycheck into bottles brown and amber 'til it's all A
gone
         D         C                 Bm             A           Em    
So I'll sleep next paycheck with the fitful fucking terror 'til it's all 

A
gone.
Em  A
All gone.
