Em
Tell me in the morning that you love me, show me
B
Only if you got it bad enough,
Em                                 B
She cracked right on the dance floor
Em                 B
She cracked but I won't

        Em
Oh, oh, oh
        B
Oh, oh, oh

Tell me in the morning that you miss me, show me
Only if you got it bad enough, oh, oh, oh
It's for your own good, girl
You've been such a good girl, such a good girl

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Chorus:
A                   Em
Stay to soften the blow
           D
Hand over fist
                  A
To drink and to smoke
                 Bm
My blood from a stone
        A                Em
I do expect fortunes to fold
           D
Hand over fist
                A
To soften the blow
              Bm
Blood from a stone

Seven in the morning, do you miss me, baby?
Only if you got it bad enough, oh, oh, oh
It's four on the West Coast, girl

They tell me it's a magical world
Oh, oh, oh
It's a sinister world
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave
Oh, oh, oh
It's too late to leave, too late to leave

Chorus
