Copyright: Alarma 1999

An easy, basicly two chord song. Just use the chords and finger pick
something that sounds like what he does, he does something different 
each time through so just let your right hand go nuts and you 
should be fine:

Chords Mike uses:
F      (xx321x)
F2     (xx3213)
Fmaj7  (xx3210)
C      (x32010) or (x32013)
C2     (x32030)
Cmaj   (x32000)

Use Suggested picking or just use the Chords and find your own pattern

I case you didn't know:

p=pull
()-you can play if you want but you don't have to

Either:


Play fast
F               F2                    C           C2
|--------------------3------3-----0--------------------------------|
|-----1-----1----------1------1-----1-----1-----1-----3-----3-----1| 
|---2-----2--------2------------------------------------0-----0----| 
|-3-----3--------3--------3-----3-------2-----2-----2-----2-----2--|
|-------------------------------------3-----3-----3----------------| 
|------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Or...


F               F2                    C            C2
|--------------------3------3-----0--------------------------------|
|-----1-----1----------1------1-----2---1-----1-----3----3---3p1---| 
|---2-----2--------2----------------------0-----0-----0----0--(0)--| 
|-3-----3--------3--------3-----3-------------------------------(2)|
|-------------------------------------3-----3-----3-----3----------| 
|------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Sometimes he'll just play an Fmaj7 instead of the F2 and I think I
hear him replace a C2 with a Cmaj7 once or twice while other times 
just playing a C, just do what sounds good to you

Lyrics:


you're sittin' there wondering why is it like this
and the whole world's crazy and the earth is sick
and someone's yelling from the bathroom door
the toilet's overflowing on the floor
and the one by the phone says i cannot hear
while the one by the jukebox spills his beer
and the man on the pinball hits sixteen mil
someone ducks behind the counter to pop a pill
and you reach in your pocket to see if there's more
and the biggest bill falls so you're left with four
and you're too gone to look but you still try
then you see it in the hand of a great big guy
who looks just like he'd kill you fast
and you think for a minute 
you let it pass

and the stool falls over when you set back down
it bumps a mean pool shooter from across the town
he misses his shot - it's all on you
and with your last four bucks you know what you'll do
sorry man can i buy you a drink
and he shakes his head and says, make it a double

the next thing you know you wake up at home
and the little one there won't leave you alone
she's awake and hungry
she needs some potty help
and you remember what happened last time she tried it by herself
and your wife says hurry, we're late for church
and you can barely see
and your head still hurts
and the preacher starts preaching
and you feel remorse
he's got five little kids and a big divorce
and your wife looks down and says she don't know how
he's been her guiding light for ten years now
and his marriage is over, it's barely alive
and how in the world will ours ever survive? 

and the stool falls over when you set back down
it bumps a mean pool shooter from across the town
he misses his shot - it's all on you
and with your last four bucks you know what you'll do
sorry man can i buy you a drink
and he shakes his head and says, make it a double
