Watch your mouth, who-oh-oh
             C                       F
Because your speech is slurred and I bet you just might swallow your tongue
 Dm              Am
-I'm sure you would-
             C                        F
Want to give up the ghost with just a little more poise than that
       Dm           Am                 C
-Well, oh-oh- Was it God who choked in these situations,
F
Running late? Oh, no, he called in
       Dm         Am                      C
-Well, oh-oh- Was it God who choked in these situations,

Running late? Oh, no, he called in

Dm             Am                                C
That's when you s-s-stuttered something profound
              F
To the support of the line
        Dm                   Am                 C
And with the way you've been talking every word

Gives you a step closer to hell

I am
 F                 C              Gm
Alone in this bed, house and head
                         F

But at least she...
