My Alcoholic Friends Tab par The Dresden Dolls

I'm counting back the number of the steps
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

It took for me to get back on the wagon of the weekend
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-4-3-3-1-----------3-3-2-2-1-2------|
C|-------------5-4-----5------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'll use the auto-timer to prove that I'll
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-4-3-3---------1-2-2-1--------------|
C|-----------5-----6----------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Get home with my imagination
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-3-2-----3-5-5-4-4----------------------|
C|-------------------6-5------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

If they find the body in the basement
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-4-----3-3-----1-2-1----------------|
C|---------------5-6----------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

In the very house that she was raised in
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-4-----3-3-----1-2-1----------------|
C|---------------5-6----------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'm taking down the number of the times
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

So when we get the sign from God
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-4-3-3-2-----3-2--------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'll be the first to call them
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-5-6-6-5-5-4-3--------------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'm taking back the number of the beast
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

'Cause six is not a pretty number
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2-1------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Eight or three are definitely better
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2-1----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

A is for the address on the letter
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

To my alcoholic friends
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-4-5-6-5-4-3-----5----------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

(Instrumental)
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-5-6-6-5-5-6-6-5-5-6-6-7-7-6-6----------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'm trying hard not to be ashamed, not to know the name
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-4-3-2-----4-4-3-3-1-----4-4-3-3-1----|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Of who is waking up beside me
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2-1------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Or the date, the season or the city
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

But at least the ceiling's very pretty
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

And if you are holding it against me
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

I'll be on my best behavior, taking shots for mother nature
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-4-5-6-5-4-3-4-5-----4-5-6-5-4-3-4-5----|
G|----------------------------------------|

Once my fist is in the cupboard, love is never falling over
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-4-5-6-5-4-3-4-5-----4-5-6-5-4-3-4-3----|
G|----------------------------------------|

(Instrumental)
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-5-5-6-6-5-5-6-6-5-5-6-6-7-7-6-6--------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Should I choose a noble occupation?
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

If I did, I'd only show up late and sick
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-1-0-1--------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

And they would stare at me with hatred
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-3-2-----2-4-4-3-3-2-1------------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

Plus my only natural talent's wasted
A|----------------------------------------|
E|-2-3-2-1-----4-4-3-3-1-0----------------|
C|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

On my alcoholic friends
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-4-5-6-5-4-3-----5----------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

My alcoholic friends
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-5-6-5-4-3-----5------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

The party never ends
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
C|-5-6-5-4-3-----5------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|

My alcoholic friends
