G#m                   F#
I'm on, my time, with everyone.
G#m                F#
I have, very, bad posture.

Chorus:
B         C#              A
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
B            C#                    A
Distill the life that's inside of me
B         C#              A
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
B     C#         A
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

Chorus:
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Chorus:
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
