| D | Em | |
| I took a walk around the | yard |
| F#m | |
| Dug the flowers til it got too | hard |
| F#m/A | Bm | |
| I | smoked my first pack of | cigarettes today |
| G | |
| And, I | watched the children play. |
| D | Em | |
| And, then I went | down, down to Lucy's old Ca | fe |
| F#m | |
| Put a half a case a | way |
| F#m/A | Bm | |
| I | took a sleeping pill and | tried to watch TV |
| G | F#m | |
| But you know | baby the leading lady | looked |
| Em | A | |
| too much | like you for the likes of me. |
| Bm | F#m | G | |
| And, I woke up | crying | in my | sleep |
| F#m | Bm | Em | A | |
| I was | talking | to your | pillow |
| Bm | F#m | G | F#m | |
| And I reached | out to | touch your | hand |
| Em | Bm | |
| And knocked the | phone off the | nightstand |
| F#m | G | |
| And the | operator said, "May I | help you please?" |
| Em | F#m | G | |
| No thanks baby there's | nothing you can really | do for me |

| Went out to loosen up the | car |
| F#m | |
| Some how I wound up at the rainbow | bar |
| F#m/A | Bm | |
| I | had a scotch and | soda on the run |
| G | |
| But, I | didn't get too far. |
| D | Em | |
| And, then I ran | down, down some friends I used to | know |
| F#m | |
| Dragged them out to see the | show |
| F#m/A | Bm | |
| I | drew myself a bath and I | tried to read your book |
| G | F#m | |
| But you know | baby this time it | just didn't seem |
| Em | A | |
| quite worth the | time it took | . |
| Bm | F#m | G | |
| And, I woke up | crying | in my | sleep |
