They Speak of My Drinking, but Never of My Thirst

guitar chords lyrics

The Menzingers

THEY SPEAK OF MY DRINKING, BUT NEVER OF MY THIRST - The Menzingers

Tuning: Standard

Definitely a simplified version of this song, but if you wanted to play along, you could
just play everything as powerchords and that'd be all of the rhythm guitars parts.

They called a meeting of the doctors and drug dealers in suits
E C#m
They're planning on pushing their cure for the truth
E
We're the Disneyland dope-fiends, it's a small world
C#m
When they're praying up to your pills
E
Generation serotonin: balanced and free
C#m
Sending praise to "The Molecule'

My doctor says, "Don't worry son, its just a trial run,
G#m A B
You'll feel much better when it's said and done.

And forget the cost the market is hot

This took your father and I've got your numbers,
E A C#m B
Well I've got your numbers
E A C#m B A B
and I've got your numbers."


E C#m
Who am I to say? I'm probably drunk...
E C#m
My cure works for me, but I can barely breath
E
While the market research is showing off her new tits,
C#m
Executives' jaws fall to the floor
E
"Well, we've finally got the new data and the good news is
C#m
they don't think for themselves anymore"

My doctor says, "Don't worry son, they'll get ya when they come
G#m A B
But you can hold on forever but the devil's won

And forget the cost the market is hot
E A E B C#m B
This took your father and I've got your numbers,
E A C#m B
Well I've got your numbers
E A C#m B A B
and I've got your numbers."
