no choice
[A]There's something bad wrong,
I can [D]hear it in your voice

How [A]am I gonna fix it,
I'm [D]a thousand miles away?

[A]You keep saying I never tak[D]e you anywhere
[A]Want me to take you[D] for an airplane ride

[Verse 8]
[G]van[D]'s
[A]barely
running [D]and we're all half sick
[A]Band leader's being such
a [D]damn little prick
We [A]hit the road early,
[D]I never got a shower
Sup[A]posed to been at [D]sound
check back about an hour
Blood [A]pressure's up,
I got[D]ta take pills
[A]The food don't kill me,
the [D]alcohol will
[A]And I know it ain't healthy
but [D]this is what I do
[A]Same thing I was doing
back be[D]fore I met you

[A]You wanna know about
[D]a number I called
[A]Must've been a misdi[D]al, I don't recall
Doc[A]tor bills came,
[D]we're down on our knees
In[A]surance pays when
[D]they damn well please
[A]I sent home the money [D]soon as I could
Sent [A]it home [D]to Sancho like
a good man [A]should[D]
