[Verse]
Em                                        G    D     Em
He bought two fifths of lead free gasoline
Em                                               G    D    Em
Said "The bottle is dusty but the engine is clean"
Em                                                   G    D    Em
He bought a nice new suit with the money he could find
Em                                                 G    D    Em
If his bride didn't like it St. Peter wouldn't mind

[Chorus]
G     D           Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G   D   Em
Over-opiated
G     D                Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
   C     D             Em
Maybe he could have waited

[Verse]
Em                                      G    D    Em
Well the medicine man started seeing red
Em                                                         G    D    Em
You'd think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head
Em                                             G    D    Em
While addicted to approval, addicted to the air
Em                                            G    D    Em
It was "See if you like it or see you up there"

[Chorus]
G     D           Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G   D   Em
Over-opiated
G     D                Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
   C     D             Em
Maybe he could have waited

[Outro]
G     D           Em
Now I lie here so out of breath and
G   D   Em
Over-opiated
G     D                Em
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
   C     D             Em
Maybe he could have waited
   C     D             Em
Maybe he should have waited
   C     D             Em
Maybe he should have waited
   C     D             Em
Maybe he should have waited
