My Alcoholic Friends Tab

I'm counting back the number of the steps
                                                  
it took for me to get back on the wagon of the weekend
                                   
I'll use the oven timer to prove that I'll
                               
get home with my imagination
                                
if they find the body in the basement
                                       
in the very house that she was raised in

                                   
I'm taking down the number of the times
                                                             
so when we get the sign from god I'll be the first to call them
                                  
I'm taking back the number of the beast
                                 
cause six is not a pretty number
                                
eight or three are definitely better
                                   
A is for the address on the letter
                     
to my alcoholic friends

                    
I'm trying hard not to be ashamed
                                                
not to know the name of who is waking up beside me
                                    
or the date, the season, or the city
                                     
but at least the ceiling's very pretty
                             
and if you are holding it against me
                
I'll be on my best behavior
                        
taking shots for mother nature
                    
once my fist is in the cupboard
                
love is never falling over

(repeat intro riff)   

                                   
Should I choose a noble occupation?
                            
If I did I'd only show up late and
                                             
sick and they would tear at me with hatred
                                   
plus my only natural talent's wasted
               
on my alcoholic friends
                
my alcoholic friends
                  
the party never ends
                 
my alcoholic friends
