 Using Riff for A chord
A  E  A  E  A  E  B  E

[Verse 1]
E                            A          E
On the twenty-first day, the sun didn't hate me
E                                     B
The food wasn't angry, the bed didn't sigh
E                     E7           A           E        
The ceiling said it's possible I might get my looks back
E                   B         A   E
On the twenty-first day of my stay here

[Repeat Intro]

[Verse 2]

E                           A            E
On the twenty-first day, I danced to the twelve-step
E                      B
Examined, admitted I'm powerless too
E             E7                   A       E
Sang the one about the spring the cat ran away
E                   B         A             E
On the twenty-first day of my court-ordered stay here

[Bridge]

B                               A             E
The punk and the priest and the real estate agent
B                              A        E
The girl with no teeth and the shaking Marine
B                         A             E
The Serbian Deadhead who wears his sunglasses
E             B           A
So no one can see at my eyes
B                    A       E
In for three weeks or in for forever
B                 A                 E
Here at the 17th Street Treatment Centre
B                  A             E
Most of us probably not getting better
E               B     A     E
But not getting better together
