VERSE
 
G          D                 Em7   Cadd9 
If there's one thing I can't stand 
G         D                  Em7       Cadd9 
it's this bar and this cover band 
G         D                      Em7                       Cadd9 
trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.' 
G      D                 Em7       Cadd9 
That's one thing I can't stand. 

G          D                 Em7       Cadd9 
If there's one thing I can't take 
G          D                 Em7       Cadd9 
it's the sound that a woman makes 
G          D                 Em7                     Cadd9 
about five seconds after her heart begins to break. 
G      D                 Em7       Cadd9 
That's one thing I can't take. 


BRIDGE
 
Bm                                Cadd9 
She should be home by now but she ain't. 
Bm                            Cadd9 
I should've gone by now but I cain't. 


 
G D Em7 Cadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 Cadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.
VERSE G D Em7 Cadd9 Them eyes was big as stars G D Em7 Cadd9 when I saw you behind the bar. G D Em7 Cadd9 I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are. G D Em7 Cadd9 But girl them eyes was big as stars. G D Em7 Cadd9 It sounds funny when you say my name. G D Em7 Cadd9 It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing G D Em7 Cadd9 and you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain. G D Em7 Cadd9 It sounds so funny when you say my name. BRIDGE Bm Cadd9 You oughta come home tonight but you won't. Bm Cadd9 I wish we knew how to fight but we don't.
G D Em7 Cadd9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine. G D Em7 Cadd9 One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine.
VERSE G D Em7 Cadd9 Darlin' I'm not one to judge G D Em7 Cadd9 but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good. G D Em7 Cadd9 Got no answers of my own G D Em7 Cadd9 but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should. G D Em7 Cadd9 If there's two things that I hate G D Em7 Cadd9 it's having to cook and trying to date. G D Em7 Cadd9 Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.' G D Em7 Cadd9 That's a few things that I hate. BRIDGE Bm Cadd9 If I call when I ain't drunk Bm Cadd9 This old boat'll still be sunk
G D Em7 Cadd9 'cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 Cadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 Cadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine. G D Em7 Cadd9 One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.
