[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
I was flicking through the channels on the TV
G Cadd9
On a Sunday in Milwaukee in the rain
G Cadd9
Trying to piece together conversations
G Cadd9
Trying to find out where to lay the blame
[Chorus]
D
But when it comes right down to it
Am7
there's no use trying to pretend
G
For when it gets right down to it
Cadd9
there's no one here that's left to blame
D Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
G Cadd9
We're just sugar mice in the rain
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
I heard Sinatra calling me through the floorboards
G Cadd9
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
G Cadd9
To the jukebox crying in the corner
G Cadd9
While the waitress is counting out the time
[Chorus]
D
For when it comes right down to it
Am7 Cadd9
there's no use trying to pretend
G
For when it gets right down to it
Cadd9
there's no one really left to blame
D Am7
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
Cadd9 G
We're just sugar mice in the rain
[Solo]
Cadd9 G x8 D Am7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
[Bridge]
G
'Cause I know what I feel, know what I want
Cadd9 G Cadd9
I know what I am Daddy took a raincheck
G
'Cause I know what I want, know what I feel
Cadd9 G
I know what I need Daddy took a raincheck,
Cadd9
your daddy took a raincheck
G Cadd9
Ain't no one in here that's left to blame but me
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Blame it on me, blame it on me
[Verse 3]
G
Well the toughest thing that I ever did
Cadd9
was talk to the kids on the phone
G
When I heard them asking questions
Cadd9
I knew that you were all alone
G Cadd9
Can't you understand that the government left me out of work
G
I just couldn't stand the looks on their faces
Cadd9
saying, "What a jerk"
[Chorus]
D Am7
So if you want my address it's number one at the end of the bar
G
Where I sit with the broken angels
Cadd9
clutching at straws and nursing our scars
D Am7
Blame it on me, blame it on me,
G
Sugar mice in the rain,
Cadd9
your daddy took a raincheck
G Cadd9 G
your daddy took a raincheck
