                             F         C
She's taking it down, in cap size increments
                               F   G
She'll have one more, take her medicine
    C              F        C             G
She hopes for some more and soon she will pray
                    F          C
Today's tomorrow, tomorrow's today


    G                           C     F  C  F
She ties, ties, ties herself in knots
          G                            C     F  C  F
And she's down at the bar, taking some shots
    G                                   C    F  C  F
And one leads to four and four leads to five
      G                             C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F  
She's numbing herself 'til I'm not alive


        C                    F           C
Well, I pamper myself with a couple more
                                  F            G
Oh, the streetcars sound like the waves on the shore
    C       F             C       G
The traffic tide pulls me slowly away
                    F          C
Today's tomorrow, tomorrow's today


      G                                                C     F  C  F
And I won't be coming down, I'm busy mending my broken heart
      G                                    C     F  C  F
And I lie, I lie, I lie, you don't need to start
      G                                 C     F  C  F  G
And I dumbed myself down, thinking it's smart
                       C     F  C  F  C  F  C  F  
Better off alone than apart

I was wrong
F               G
You were wrong
        C
In each others' eyes

And I was right
          F
And I, oooh, you were right
       G
In our own minds


        C                        F          C
Well, I stare at the bottles with cancelled eyes
                                            F              G
The drunks, the dogs and the children, have truth in their lies
    C              F        C           G
I'd hope one would come and show me the way
                    F          C
Today's tomorrow, tomorrow's today


      G                                    C     F  C  F
Well, I'm stumbling home, going to pay the price
          G                                     C     F  C  F
And, I'll try not to be cold, I'm gonna make it nice
      G                                     C      F  C  F
But I poured my heart out with the bottle I filled
    G                               C     F  C  
But walking home to you is always uphill
