[Verse]
             G      D
Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
   A                D       G D
He loves the colour white
                    G      D
He'll stay in there for hours
A                     D       G
Sometimes through the night

[Verse]
                        D
Mom and Dad wait in the kitchen
         A                  D       G
Drinking coffee and holding hands
                    D
They talk around in circles
       A               D       G D
'Cause they don't understand

[Verse]
              G    D
Sometimes he looks through you
   A               D       G D
As if you were not there
                G  D
He doesn't know it hurts you
     A               D      G
He's gone too far to care

[Verse]
                      D
Then he'll steal your money
           A                  D     G
Steal your love and bleed you dry
                   D
Give it all to the Candy Man
    A                 D     G D
Who taught him how to fly

[Instrumental]
C   G D    A    D   G D

[Verse]
            G    D
Lately he's been clever
   A                     D       G D
He shoots up between his toes
                  G   D
That way he hides the track marks
       A                  D       G
And he thinks that no one knows

[Verse]
                     D
It makes you want to hold him
    A                    D       G
And help him through the night
               D
Put your arms around him
    A               D       G D
And tell him it's alright

[Verse]
                 G  D
He's there in every city
     A              D      G D
He's there in every town
            G       D
Hanging in 'til the next day
 A                 D       G
Another deal going down

[Verse]
                     D
But he won't let you hold him
   A                    D       G
Or help him through the night
                    D
Jimmy sleeps in the bathroom
          A                D
'Cause he loves the colour white
