Intro/Chorus Riff (x2)

A                            E
Sleepin' on a planner at the port authority,
D                     A     D
waitin' for my bus to come,
A                             E
Seven scotch and sodas at the office party
      D                        A
Now I don't remember where I'm from

                D
I think I had a black wallet
     A                   D         
In my back pocket, with a bus ticket
      F#m           C# D D# E
And a picture of my baby inside
         D
And if I make it home alive

CHORUS:
          A      E      D
I'm gonna get my s**t together
             A         E       D
‘Cuz I can't live like this forever,
              F#m                B
You know I've come too far and I don't wanna fail
        G                  D
I gotta new computer and a

A                            E
Headin' for the airport on a misty morning
       D                     A     D
Gonna catch a flight to Baltimore
A                          E
Try to kill an hour with a whiskey-sour
           D                          A
If there's time I might have just one more

                D                      A
I gotta do some, quick readin' for the, big meetin'
      D                       F#m         C# D D# E
but my head is spinning and I can't quite open my eyes
           D
as long as I don't have to drive

CHORUS:
          A      E      D

E
 I had a line on a brand new account
          Bm
But now I can't seem to find where I wrote that number down,
E
 I try to focus, I'm starin' at the screen,
   G
Pretendin' like I know what all these 
C               D
little flashing lights mean

(oh yeah)
