while you shouldn't doctor yourself  well, I pictured somebody else
                       Cadd9
someone that looks like what I look like
G/D                                Em7                                  A7
would you say that the one of your dreams got in you and ripped out the seams?
                    Cadd9
that's what I'd say, that's what I'd say

he was a sucker for your double dose, motherfucker turned white as a ghost
                Cadd9
don't you say hi, don't you say hi
G/D                      Em7                                A7
with a broken sink for a face and a head that just takes up space
                   Cadd9
he's not half right, he's not half right

i was sticking up for my friend when there's nothing much to defend
                 Cadd9
it's a lost fight, it's a lost fight
G/D                            Em7                                A7
'cos when I talk to you on the phone, well, it's just like being alone
                   Cadd9
it's not half right, it's not half right
