[Verse 1]
B F#
They're picking up pieces of me
E
While they're picking up pieces of you
E
In a bag you will be, before the day is over
B F#
Were you looking for somewhere to be?
E
Or looking for someone to do?
E D#m
Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you
E
And on the back of my hand
D#m E
Were, directions I could understand
D#m E
Now that old buzzard Johnnie Walker
D#m E
Has gone and ruined all our plans
B
Our best made plans
[Chorus]
F# G#m
Don't leave me here, to pass through time
D#m
Without a map or road sign
B F# G#m
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
D#m
Cause I, I
[Post-Chorus 1]
E D#m
Wouldn't know where to begin
E D#m
I asked the kings of medicine
[Verse 2]
B F#
They're picking up pieces of me
E
While they're picking up pieces of you
E
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over
B F#
It's a case in point baby
E
That you never thought it through
E D#m
Stupid me, to believe I could depend on stupid you
E
And on the tip of my tongue
D#m E
Were, words that always came out wrong
D#m E
Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort
D#m E
Left to dry out in the sun
B
The noon-day sun
[Chorus]
F# G#m
Don't leave me here, to pass through time
D#m
Without a map or road sign
B F# G#m
Don't leave me here, my guiding light
D#m
Cause I, I
[Post-Chorus 2]
E D#m
Wouldn't know where to begin
E D#m
I asked the kings of medicine
E D#m
But it seems they've lost their powers
E D#m
Now all I'm left with is the hours
[Instrumental]
B F# G#m D#m
B F# G#m D#m
[Ulangi Chorus]
[Post-Chorus 2]
E D#m
Wouldn't know where to begin
E D#m
I asked the kings of medicine
E D#m
But it seems they've lost their powers
E D#m
Now all I'm left with is the hours
[Outro]
B F# G#m D#m
Don't leave me here
B F# G#m D#m
Don't leave me here, oh no-oh
E D#m
I wouldn't know where to begin
