          G         Em             C           D7
You're a lonely alcoholic, with a tendency to w(h)ine
            G             Em             C           D7
Well, you speak it and you drink it, and bore us all the time
          G                 Em             C           D7
Say you drink out of your sorrow for you've got no one to love
      G                 Em             C           D7
But, tell me, who could cuddle up to a lonely alcoholic?

( G  Em  C  D7 )

           G                  Em               C           D7
You're a stressed out single mother, who has clearly been harassed
           G                 Em             C               D7
Well, you can't predict the future, for you can't erase the past
          G         Em     C           D7
But your baby isn't going anywhere but up
    G                Em                     C         D7
So join the line and get the dole for the stressed out single mothers

( G  Em  C  D7 )

       G         Em         C               D7
I'm a mediocre writer, who sings all of the time
         G             Em            C               D7
Writing songs about misfortunes and other people's crimes
            G             Em       C           D7
Well, they say that I am doing my duty to the world
               G               Em                   C    D7
Oh, you could say that that is honerous, I'm just craving to be heard

G Em    C       D7
(oooh... don't leave me alone)

       G               Em            C              D7

           G                  Em             C              D7
We've got kids who just don't eat enough and men with many wives
         G              Em            C              D7
If we're all together screaming, why can't we make a sound?
             G                   Em
Oh, cuz the dirt on which we're stepping
       C        D7                   G   Em    C     D7
Is the one in which we wil be found
      G Em C       D7                G   Em    C     D7
Ooh, baby,  don't leave me alone
