Tom: Bm
E D
I'm so hungry, haven't eaten for days now
E D
I can't focus, I tend to space out
E D
The pawn shop's got my CD player
E D
And I pay a bill or two that way
E D
The landlord is about to evict me
E D
So I creep through to hallway quickly
E D
I leave the mail in a pile on the floor
E D
In case the bastard peaks though the door
[Pre-Chorus]
A F#
The situation's getting worse by the hour
A F#
I wrestle roaches the size of rats in the shower
[Chorus]
E D
But, don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G A
Go back to sleep now!
E D
Don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G A
Just count your sheep now,
C D E
Go back to sleep now!
[Verse]
E D
My Mom has started to fear all strangers
E D
The neighborhood, she says, is getting too dangerous
E D
She's too afraid to even go to the store
E
She says there's junkies outside the door
E D
And she's convinced that they're all out to get her
E D
She's too afraid to even open up her letters
E D
So if you can look into this ASAP
E D
I know your a busy man, but please help me
[Pre-Chorus]
A F#
The situation's getting worse by the minute
A F#
I'm eating rock-hard bread with rat droppings in it
[Chorus]
E D
But, don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G A
Go back to sleep now!
E D
Don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G A
Just count your sheep now,
C D E
Go back to sleep now!
[Interlude]
E D x3
G A
[Verse]
E
And when we go to clubs we don't allways get in
E
'Cause according to the bouncer we don't fit in
E
So we're stuck on park benches sittin',
G A
drinkin' as the temperature just keeps sinkin'
E D
The social worker hands me a folder
E D
But were not going although were growing colder
E D
frustrated with the bottle'o'gin in the hand
E D
Yes you can already get in to imagine man
[Pre-Chorus]
A F#
That the situation's getting worse every second
A F#
I'm lucky to reach middle age now I reckon
[Chorus]
E
But, don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G A
Go back to sleep now!
E D
Don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G A
Just count your sheep now,
C D E
Go back to sleep now!
E D
Don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G A
Go back to sleep now!
E D
Don't cry Mr. President
E D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G A
Just count your sheep now,
C D E
Go back to sleep now!
