I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party

F G A

My girlfriend just ran off with the DJ

A

I'd give her everything I had, but she refused it

F G A

It don't matter now, she don't know how to use it

C

My confidence is dwindling

D

Look at the shape I'm in

C

Where's my pearls, where's the swine?

D (n.c.)

I'm not thirsty, but I'm standing in line.

A

I'll have the usual

Yeah, I'll have the usual

Fifty silhouettes now tumblin' on the dance floor

Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door

Sixty cigarettes a day because I'm nervous

When will that bitch begin to serve us?

I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life

Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife

She was good, I was unkind

I'm not thirsty, but I'm standin' in line

I'll have the usual, yeah

I'll have the usual

Big Jim says that the second comin's comin'

I think he must be seein' double or something

You can hang around here, waiting for the offerings

I can't win, but I've seen enough, man

A fifth of whisky keep the doctor away

A little more and it's judgment day

I had a future, but she just passed out

I'm gonna drink until I see what am I talkin' about

I'll have the usual, yeah

I'll have the usual

I'll have the usual

Yeah, the usual
