Intro
After drums C# for 4 measures

You only got one finger left and its pointing at the door
C# A# F# C#
And you're taking for granted what the Lord's made on the floor

So I'm picking up the pieces and I'm putting them up for sale
C# A# F# C#
Throw your meal ticket out the window put your skeletons in jail
[Chorus]
G# C#
Cuz' Lord only knows its getting late
G# C#
Your senses are gone so don't you hesitate
F# A# C# A#
To give yourself a call let your bottom dollars fall
A G# C#
Throwing you two bit cares down the drain

Invite me to the seven seas like some seasick man
C# A# F# C#
You will do whatever you please and I'll do whatever I can

Titanic, fare thee well, my eyes are turning pink
C# A# F# C#
Don't call when the new age gets old enough to drink
[Chorus]
G# C#
Cuz' Lord only knows its getting late
G# C#
Your senses are gone so don't hesitate

Throwing your two bit cares down the drain
