	        G 
See, I know a nurse specialized in the worst 
              E 
When you're a friend in need, she'll be your friend indeed. 
        C 
When you can't find your tongue and when your rational weeps, 
         D 
She says uh, huh, huh. 


                 E       C         G 
So why don't you lean on me if you wanna? 
             E        C         G 
Why don't you lean on me for a while? 
          G        D           E         C 
Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh. 
              G       D     G 
Why don't you feed on me tonight? 

    G 
See I know the taste of the spike in your brains 
        E 
As you crawl to me, a little closer to me. 
               C 
I guess you're in the place that I used to be baby, 
          D 
Now it's down to me, so simply down to me. 
          G 
Oh, but I'm a fool and I fall apart too easily, 
        E                                        C 
?Cause you know me how I love to be with Madame Misery. 
                               D 
Come and visit me, I'm on the 99th floor of apathy. 

                  E       C         G 
But still you can lean on me if you wanna. 
              C                 G 
Why don't you lean on me for a while? 
          G         D           E        C 
Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh. 
              G       D     G 
Why don't you feed on me tonight? 
                         B                            C       G 
She said that there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest. 
           D                                Bm 
And I will love you until I die from all of this. 
     C                             D 
And something tells me I will die alone. 

                  C                 G 
But still you can lean on me if you wanna. 
                 E       C         G 
So why don't you lean on me for a while? 
          G        D           E         C 
Since you only get high on the weekends, uh huh. 
              G       D    
Why don't you feed on me tonight? 
      G 
(See, I know the taste of the spike in your brains 
          E                 C 
As you crawl to me a little closer to me.) 
              G       E 
Why don't you feed on me tonight? 
           G 
(Oh Madame Misery, come and visit me, 
             E                     C 
Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me? 
       G                 D 
Madame Misery, come and visit me, 
             E                     C 
Oh won't you crawl to me, a little closer to me?) 

                     G          F#              E         C 
And baby there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest. 
           G               F#        G      E     C 
And I will love you 'til I die from all of this, yeah. 
               G           D               E         C 
And there will always be a soft spot in my cardiac arrest. 
            G              D         G 
And I will love you 'til I die from this.
