Half A Million

	  		
verse 1 
                Em  F  G 
I make myself a promise 
              C      D 
Then break it every night 
    Em                C                  Em 
I'm feeling loose and life don't make no sense 
         C                  
I use my brains to build a fence 
G                   D 
'Round the claim I stake 
           C                         Em    F 
I take the drugs but the drugs won't take 


verse 2 
G        C          Em  F   G 
I took a pledge to grow up 
G          C                  D 
Then drank enough to make me throw up 
   Em             C           Em 
On all my dearly disappointed friends 
             C 
I'm just too lazy to make amends 
G            D  
With you anyway 
                C              Em     F 
That's why the pattern still remains  

 
G                         Am                         Em 
There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be 
Em                D 
A shelter in the nighttime 
                G 
A punk running free 
G                  Am                     Em 
And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar 
          D 
And if I try hard  
        C                           G 
I find something I can really drop into 
    Em                              D 
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing 
       C                                G 
'Cause everything is something next to nothing 
   Em                             D                    G 
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free 



verse 3 
G       C         Em    F  G 
Another candle to blow out 
G          C                D 
New set of dark thoughts to shut out 
Em               C            Em 
And everybody's got their remedies 
            C 
But nothing works like chemistry 
G           D 
So raise a toast 
         C                     Em    F 
No more sipping from the fire hose 

 
G                         Am                         Em 
There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be 
Em                D 
A shelter in the nighttime 
                G 
A punk running free 
G                  Am                     Em 
And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar 
          D 
And if I try hard  
        C                           G 
I find something I can really drop into 
    Em                              D 
And everything that was is just a thing that I can sing 
       C                                G 
'Cause everything is something next to nothing 
   Em                             D                     
As crazy as it seems, you give it up and you are free 



Break 
G       Am         Em  D 
Ooh ooh ooh, la la la, la la la la la 
G       Am         Em  D 
Ooh ooh ooh, la la la, la la la la la 

 
G                      Am                             Em 
There's half a million things that you're supposed to be 
Em               D 
A virgin in the moonlight 
                G 
A freak on the scene  
G                    Am                      Em 
And when it gets too deep you reach for your guitar 
            D 
And if you try hard  

G                         Am                         Em 
There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be 
Em                D 
A shelter in the nighttime 
                G 
A punk running free 
G                  Am                     Em 
And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar 
          D 
And if I try hard  

G                         Am                         Em 
There's a half a million things that I'm supposed to be 
Em                D 
A shelter in the nighttime 
                G 
A punk running free 
G                  Am                     Em 
And if it gets too deep I reach for my guitar 
          D 
And if I try hard
