      Terre Roche - The Unrecovered One



[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
                              Em
Here I am, I'm the unrecovered one
        Am
You can talk to me if you want to 
                           Dm
If you want to you can shun me


[Verse 2]
  Am                                                  Em
I stumble through the streets with my pride and my arrogance
  Am                                            Dm
I spit right in your face when you invite me to dance
     Am                                    Em
I go months and years at a time terminally unique
        Am                     Dm
With my pills and my bottle of wine
     Am                                             Em
I am very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very weak


[Verse 3]
  Am                                          Em
I can't get out of bed, the hangover's got my head
        Am                                             Dm
So I forgot to take the garbage out and put the kid to bed
      Am                         Em
We're all wandering around in my house
         Am                  Dm
Like the night of the living dead
    Am                                  Em
I'm someone that you can look at and be glad
Am              Dm
You're not me instead


[Verse 4]
     Am                                          Em
Underneath your sobriety and your piety and your quiet
          Am                            Dm
There's a human being there who's got a spirit 
    Am                  Em
And has to learn how to fly it
    Am                  Dm
The controls are on the panel 
        Am                          Em
And the manual's in the flotation device
    Am                   Dm
But if it comes to using that 
       Am                           Em
You've already crashed through thin ice


[Verse 5]
        Am                     Em
I'm not saying I'm better than you 
  Am                                         Dm
I feel like you're saying you're better than me
         Am                                              Em
You say "Tough luck I sobered up and now I'm running the company"
     Am                        Dm
Your Higher Power he's like my god 
      Am                              Em
He'll take you out in a flash, you'll see
    Am                             Dm
And do the same for all your loved ones 
Am                       Em
And the ones like me you pity
