Present Tense

Intro: Bm
(Occasionally hammer on and off from
 the D, G, and B strings. This may 
not be right, but
it sounds alright.)

Bm                                
Naked and retched and retching on 
        G
a hotel bathroom floor,
A
somewhere in the City
Bm                                
Three days no sleeping, not 
              G
eating, not feeling good anymore
            A                   Em
Drenched in sweat and self-pity 
                          G
now, it's not a pretty sight


G       A         Bm       G
What to say in my defense,
G A             Bm
I was imperfect tense
G                 A              
D          A
G  Em
Used to have such balance, but I 
don't know where it went
Em           A                  Bm
So won't you be my present sense

Bm
(Occasionally hammer on and off from
 4th fret to 2nd on the D string)

Breaking, I'm shaking, it's taking
             G
 a long long time
                      A
To come down off this murderous 
medication
Bm                                
Trying to remember, my reasons for
         G
 running myself
         A                    Em  
into the ground with such 
    G
dedication

So mermaids sing to me
       D
Of the better times and the things 
that can be
         Bm
Like the diamonds in the 
Mediterranean sea
       D
Or the beatings and sleeping and 
times that I took
       Bm
And of washing the drink and the 
drugs from my blood
         G                 A
And I've nothing to say in my

I'm far from perfect I'm still tense

Please say that love can change me 
once
        G
Come on change me
