A I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party F G A My girlfriend just ran off with the DJ A I'd give her everything I had, but she refused it F G A It don't matter now, she don't know how to use it C My confidence is dwindling D Look at the shape I'm in C Where's my pearls, where's the swine? D I'm not thirsty, but I'm standing in line. A I'll have the usual Yeah, I'll have the usual Fifty silhouettes now tumblin' on the dance floor Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door Sixty cigarettes a day because I'm nervous When will that bitch begin to serve us? I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife She was good, I was unkind I'm not thirsty, but I'm standin' in line I'll have the usual, yeah I'll have the usual Big Jim says that the second comin's comin' I think he must be seein' double or something You can hang around here, waiting for the offerings I can't win, but I've seen enough, man A fifth of whisky keep the doctor away A little more and it's judgment day I had a future, but she just passed out I'm gonna drink until I see what am I talkin' about I'll have the usual, yeah I'll have the usual I'll have the usual Yeah, the usual You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
