Sunday Afternoon

Shooting Blanks


Tom: F#

F#                                          A#
Couch-ridden - nothing's on the television. Hungover from another night of binging.
B                                            C#
So hungry - nothing's in the fridge, and I'm bored.
F#                                           A#
Smoked-out - I shower, and it isn't helping. Nothing left to do but bang my head against the
B                                    C#
wall, and wait around for the day to end. And I say to myself...



[chorus 1]
F#             A#       B             C#
"You're such a fuckup". Everything is a disaster.
F#           A#         B                C#
Watching the clock tick doesn't make the day go faster.
D#                                       C#
Last night's fight has taken its toll on me.

[verse 2]
F#                                         A#
Head still pounding late into the evening. I order pizza - everything I'm eating
B                                   C#
comes right back up the way it went in.
F#                                           A#
Too tired to sleep, and my ears are ringing. Loud music, screaming, and a lot of drinking.
B                                   C#
Phone off the hook - I wanna stay inside.  And I say to myself...
