Dilaudid Tab

This song sounds awesome with the string quartet but you can play it on guitar too.

The reception's gotten fuzzy

                               
The delicate balance has shifted

                           
Put on your gloves and your black pumps

                         
Let's pretend the fog has lifted

              
Now you see me

              
Now you don't

               
Now you say you love me

               
Pretty soon you won't

                                
If we get our full three score and ten

                       
We won't pass this way again

                                   
So kiss me with your mouth open

                         
Turn the tires toward the street

         
And stay sweet

(pause)
                                  
All the chickens come on home to roost

                                  
Plump bodies blotting out the sky

                              
You know it breaks my heart in half, in half

                         
When I see them trying to fly

                                 
'Cause you just can't do

                                 
Things your body wasn't meant to

            
Hike up your fishnets

      
I know you

                                  
If we live to see the other side of this

                    
I will remember your kiss

                                  
So do it with your mouth open

                             
And take your foot off of the brake

             
For Christ's sake
