E7 Cmaj7 G Am
[Verse 1]
E7 Cmaj7
When the last of the East Coast money ran dry
G Am
And the casually-dressed bill collectors started casually dropping on by
E7 Cmaj7
And the residuals, but there weren't any more residuals
G Am
At least several months behind on the payments to certain individuals
[Chorus]
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
[Verse 2]
E7 Cmaj7
I'm off the juice for seven months, I learn to like living clean
G Am
But there just isn't any money on the independent scene
E7 Cmaj7
Not even if you're cutting corners, staying in nights, eating alone
G Am
Somebody's gotta pay the gas bill, it's not gonna go away on its own
[Chorus]
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
[Verse 3]
Am Bm
I'm the biggest guy in the bank line
Em
Everybody else looks tiny
Am Bm
I could almost smell the fear
G C
On the lunch-hour car salesman behind me
[Solo]
Em Cmaj7 G Am
[Verse]
E7 Cmaj7
I know this isn't gonna work. I guess I'll see ya when I see ya.
G Am
I can't work any other jobs. This was my last and best idea.
[Chorus]
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
Bb6
I strolled into the lobby
A6
Mouth full
E7
Blood capsules
[Outro]
