Sugar Mice

[Verse 1]
      G                            
I was flicking through the channels
         Cadd9
 on the TV
     G                          
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the 
Cadd9
rain
G                      
Trying to piece together 
        Cadd9
conversations
G                                 
Trying to find out where to lay 
  Cadd9
the blame

[Chorus]
    D
But when it comes right down to it
               Am7
there's no use trying to pretend
    G
For when it gets right down to it
               Cadd9
there's no one here that's left to 
blame
            D                      
Blame it on me, you can blame it on
 Am7
 me
                             G     
We're just sugar mice in the rain
Cadd9


[Verse 2]
          G                        
I heard Sinatra calling me through 
     Cadd9
the floorboards
                G            
Where you pay a quarter for a 
                     Cadd9
partnership in rhyme
       G                       Cadd9
To the jukebox crying in the corner
          G                        
While the waitress is counting out 
        Cadd9
the time

[Chorus]
    D
For when it comes right down to it
               Am7               
there's no use trying to pretend
Cadd9

    G
For when it gets right down to it
               Cadd9
there's no one really left to blame
            D                      
Blame it on me, you can blame it on
 Am7
 me
           Cadd9                 G
We're just sugar mice in the rain

[Bridge]
         G
'Cause I know what I feel, know what
 I want
  Cadd9                      
I know what I am Daddy took a 
 G           Cadd9
raincheck
         G
'Cause I know what I want, know what
 I feel
  Cadd9

G                                 
 Ain't no one in here that's left 
            Cadd9
to blame but me
            G               Cadd9  
Blame it on me, blame it on me
G Cadd9 G Cadd9


[Verse 3]
         G
Well the toughest thing that I ever 
did
    Cadd9
was talk to the kids on the phone
       G
When I heard them asking questions
            Cadd9
I knew that you were all alone
          G                  
Can't you understand that the 
                    Cadd9
government left me out of work
       G
I just couldn't stand the looks on 
their faces
     Cadd9
 saying, "What a jerk"

[Chorus]
   D                          
So if you want my address it's 
        Am7
number one at the end of the bar
        G
Where I sit with the broken angels
             Cadd9
clutching at straws and nursing our 
scars
            D               Am7
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
                      G
Sugar mice in the rain,
                  Cadd9
your daddy took a raincheck
                  G            
your daddy took a raincheck
Cadd9  G
