[Intro]
Am Em D C
C Em D C
C Em D C
C Em D C
[Verse]
Am
We'll take the copper
from the work-site
Em
Meet me here at midnight
D
They ain't got a
Cmaj7
camera or a guard
C
Write my own prescription
Em
If I can't get a fix, son
D Cmaj7
Shit's about to get real hard
[Verse]
C
Molly don't believe me
Em
Says she's gonna leave me
D
The kids won't even
Cmaj7
know my name
C
Put a gallon in
the step-side
Em
With a little help
D
By morning I won't
Cmaj7
feel no pain
[Instrument]
Am Em D Cmaj7
C Em D Cmaj7
[Verse]
Am
Never thought I'd wind up
Em
This far behind
D
Just a couple years
Cmaj7
back we had it made
C
I was emptying my bladder
Em
On a 20-ft ladder
D
Should have climbed down
Cmaj7
And found myself some shade
[Verse]
C
The doctor took
a quick look
Em
And I got out
the checkbook
D
And left with a pocket
Cmaj7
full of pills
C
Now my back's still hurting
Em
And I'm too weak for working
D
And I can't keep up
C
with all the bills

[Chorus]
G
She used to wake me up
C
with cooooffee
Cmaj7
every morning
Em
And I'd hear her homemade
D C
house shoes slide
across the floor
G
She used to make me feel
C Cmaj7
like the King of Oklahoma
Em D
But nothing makes me feel
C
like much of nothing
Cmaj7
anymore
[Solo]
Am Em D Cmaj7
Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
[Verse]
m
I was all set up to do it
Em
But some bastard
beat me to it
D
Ain't a copper pipe
Cmaj7
left on the lot
C
Got a loan out on the truck
Em
But I'm running out of luck
D
And the title is the
C
only thing I've got
[Verse]
C
Molly's gonna leave me
EM
Says she don't believe me
D
I got nothing
Cmaj7
left to lie about
C
She's going back to Bixby
Em
Tired of trying to fix me
D C
Says I got some shit to figure out
[Chorus]
G
She used to wake me up
C Cmaj7
with cooooffee every morning
Em
And I'd hear her homemade
D C
house shoes slide
across the floor
G
She used to make me feel
C Cmaj7
like the King of Oklahoma
Em D
But nothing makes me feel
C
like much of nothing anymore
[Chorus]
G
She used to wake me up with
C Cmaj7
cooooffee every morning
Em D
And I'd act like I was sleeping
C
'til she walked back
through the door
G
She used to make me feel
C
like the King of Oklahoma
Em D
But nothing makes me feel
C
like much of nothing
anymore
[Outro]
Am Em D C
