Intro

G D Em x3
   

Verse

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

Chorus

Now I lie here so out of breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
Maybe he could have waited
 

Verse

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

Chorus

Now I lie here so out of breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
Maybe he could have waited

Instrumental

 
G D Em x3
   

Chorus

Now I lie here so out of breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
Maybe he could have waited

Outro

Now I lie here so out of breath and
Over-opiated
Maybe I couldn't catch up no, but
Maybe he could have waited
Maybe he should have waited
Maybe he should have waited
Maybe he should have waited
