(no5th)          Bsus7     (no5th)    Bsus7
Cigarettes  and chocolate milk
(no5th)           Bsus7               (no5th)    Bsus7
These are just a couple of my cravings
(no5th)      Bsus7                            /
Everything it seems I like's a little bit    stronger
       /     
A little bit  thic     -     ker, 
/                     Em2
a little bit harmful for me 
              /                     / 
If I should   buy       jellybeans
                   /                              /
Have to eat them all in just one sitting
                   Bsus7                            /
Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter,
          /   
A little bit     fat  -       ter,        
   /                         Em2
a   little bit harmful for me 
                             Em2/            Em2       Em2/
And then there's  those  other things
Em2                        Em2/                   Em2       Em2/
Which for several reasons we won't mention
Em2                                        / 
Everything about 'em is a little bit stranger, 
         /    /
a little bit  har   -    der
/
A little bit deadly 
                 
It isn't ver - y       smart
                         
Tends to make one   part
 
So brokenhearted 

(repeat inro)

Sitting here remembering me
Always been a shoe made for the city
Go ahead accuse me of just singing about places
With scrappy boys faces have general run of the town 

Playing with prodigal sons
Takes a lot of sentimental valiums
Can't expect the world to be your Raggedy Andy
While running on empty you little old doll with a frown 

You got to keep in the game
Retaining mystique while facing forward
I suggest a reading of ïA Lesson in Tightropes'
Or ïSurfing Your High Hopes' or ïAdios Kansas' 

It isn't very smart
Tends to make one part
So brokenhearted 


(instrumental chorus, end on B7)

Still there's not a show on my back
                                            
Holes or a friendly intervention
                                                         
I'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit Irish-
                            
A little bit Tower of Pisa
            
When-ever I see ya
                                        
So please be kind if I'm    a    ---   mess
