Joe Pernice - Prince Valium

Capo II

D...D/C#...G/B...A*


D...................D/C#
once or twice to kill my pain and

G/B................A*
once to bring it back again

......Em....................C.................A
no I never leaned so heavy on a song

it's the losing end that brings you down
so broken and lonesome you won't be found
and you pray someday you go back there again


..............Bm................F#m
cause the cure is long in coming

.........G...................D
and it never lasts so long

...........F#m................Bm.......................A
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

maybe once or twice for the last time try
and once to let my feelings die
and I don't remember if we both survived

it's the losing end that brings you down
so broken and lonesome you won't be found
and you pray someday you go back there again

cause the cure is long in coming
and it never lasts so long
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

..........Bm..................F#m
always knew you'd be going

.............Em.......................D
though I did not know just when

...Em...............A.......................D..........D/C#
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again


Bm..........F#m........................G.........................D
I see your face in the bleeding hearts that go too soon

F#m...............Bm...................A
I see you in the wreckage of the moon

cause the cure is long in coming
and it never lasts so long
guess a little was just a little too much to ask you for

always knew you'd be going
though I did not know just when
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again
so help me Lord, get me stoned again

...............G
I got this scar above my eye

...............D
from the dirty little shit

........Am............................................Em
who tried to love me underneath the bridge

I broke a bottle on his ear
as the sun was pouring down
I never stopped to see if he was dead

about a half a mile a way
in a pile of broken things
he hid a green jewel bigger than my hand
when I find it I'll be gone
down to Florida so far
from my frigged rain that kept me here so long

hey could you walk a little slower
my legs don't work so good in this cold weather
tore myself open
if I only had a dime
and just one minute of your time
I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light

................D
I got this lump growing in my neck

..............Em
that somebody ought to see

.........D..............................................Em
got a rattle in my chest the way it sounds

...............D
it's like a barrel full of empty bottles

Em
rolling through the night

............D..........................................Em
hitting every fucking pothole in this town

I got this scar above my eye
from the dirty little shit
who tried to love me underneath the bridge
I broke a bottle on his ear
as the sun was pouring down
I never stopped to see if he was dead

hey could you walk a little slower
my legs don't work so good in this cold weather
tore myself open
if I only had a dime
and just one minute of your time
I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light
oh I'm a ghost I'll be fading with the light
oh I'm a ghost
