[Verse 1] (calm)
Am                    G
I'm on, my time, with everyone.
Am                G
I have, very, bad posture.

[Chorus 1] (loud)
C             D            Bb
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C                D                  Bb
  Distill the life that's inside of me
C             D            Bb

C       D         Bb
  I'm anemic royalty

[Verse 2] (calm)
Am                      G
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
Am             G
So I can sigh eternally

[Chorus 2] (loud)
C           D          Bb
  I'm so tired I can't sleep
C         D        Bb
  I'm a liar and a thief
C             D            Bb
  Sit and drink pennyroyal Tea
C       D         Bb
  I'm anemic royalty

[Verse 3]
Am                   G
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Am                 G
Cherry-flavored antacids

[Chorus 1]
C             D            Bb
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C                D                  Bb
  Distill the life that's inside of me
C             D            Bb
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C       D         Bb
  I'm anemic royalty, ah
