Version 1
[Intro]
G D Em x3
C D Em
[Verse]
Em G D Em
He bought two fifths of lead free gasoline
Em G D Em
Said "The bottle is dusty but the engine is clean"
Em G D Em
He bought a nice new suit with the money he could find
Em G D Em
If his bride didn't like it St. Peter wouldn't mind
[Chorus]
G D Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G D Em
Over-opiated
G D Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
C D Em
Maybe he could have waited
Em
[Verse]
Em G D Em
Well the medicine man started seeing red
Em G D Em
You'd think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head
Em G D Em
While addicted to approval, addicted to the air
Em G D Em
It was "See if you like it or see you up there"
[Chorus]
G D Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G D Em
Over-opiated
G D Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
C D Em
Maybe he could have waited
[Instrumental]

G D Em x3
C D Em
[Chorus]
G D Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G D Em
Over-opiated
G D Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
C D Em
Maybe he could have waited
[Outro]
G D Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G D Em
Over-opiated
G D Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
C D Em
Maybe he could have waited
C D Em
Maybe he should have waited
C D Em
Maybe he should have waited
C D Em
Maybe he should have waited
C D Em
