We were up in [E] heaven, but now we're in the mud.
We fell off the wagon, you should have [Fm] heard the thud.
We were so superior, but that was just a phase.
We were high on [E] life for fourteen boring days.
We were up in heaven, but now we're in the mud.
We fell off the [Ab] wagon, [A] you should have heard [E] the thud.
We were so superior, but that was just a phase.
We were high on life for fourteen boring days.
Bartenders got insulted when we would insist on ginger ale, [A] Perrier, or soda [E] with a twist.
On the airplane we were good guys, and we sat where folks don't smoke.
The party they were all [B] surprised when we [E] turned down a toque.
[B] [E]
[A] [E]
[B] [E] We kicked nicotine and caffeine and [B] alcohol [E] and cannabis.
We copped an ounce of clarity, [A] we scored a [E] pound of bliss.
But I kept having nightmares, and you kept gaining weight.
We gave in to our withdrawal pain [B] and finally [E] took the bait.
In no time we were hooked [B] again, [E] suckers that we are.
Life of every party [A] and fly in [E] every bar.
Two weeks on the wagon until weight toppled off.
And I got back my headaches, [B] you got [E] back your cough.
We were up in heaven, [B] but now we're [E] in the mud.
We fell off the wagon, [A] you should [E] have heard the thud.
We were so superior, but that was just a phase.
We were high on life [B] for fourteen [E] boring days.
We were high on life [B] for fourteen boring [E] days.
