I swore off Cialis, I'm no [D] longer in the mood.
[E] Four hours at attention, [D] man, that could [A] kill a dude.
[D]
[E] [A]
They say Ambien's okay long as you don't drive in your [E] sleep.
If you operate [D] machinery, pray the Lord your [A] soul to keep.
Be aware that Vesicare can [D] cut down on the trips.
[E] You make the tinkle [D] in the night plus [A] subsequential drips.
[E] Ear drops, eye drops, [D] nose drops, cause dried [A] up's the shape I'm in.
[E] It's like I need an [A] oil can, I'm like that [E] man of tin.
[A] Ice packs and heat patches for my [D] aching knees and back.
[E] And that little baby [D] aspirin to ward off my [A] heart attack.
[D] [E]
[D] [A] [C]
I went down to [F] Chinatown, the herbalist was there.
[G] I got some tea that tasted like a [C] trucker's underwear.
Those acupuncture needles, [F] no, they don't hurt a bit.
[G] And point of fact, those [F] acupuncture needles don't do [C] shit.
[G] I should buy a Thai massage or get a [C] few good [G] hugs.
Instead I headed to the drugstore, [F] copped [G] my load of drugs.
When I [C] was a little [F] kid, I never popped no pills.
[G] Just a band-aid and Mercurochrome [F] could cure most of my [C] ills.
[A] Ooooooh.
Klamapens are a controlled substance, so I bum [D] them from my [E] wife.
If the side effects don't kill [D] me, all my [A] meds might save my life.
Yeah, I quit drinking smoke and red [D] meat, dairy and caffeine.
[E] I'm not quite high on life, just [D] slightly dead, know what I mean?
[Em] I even asked the doctor, [Gm] Doc, how long can [A] this go on?
He [E] said, son, you're out to pasture.
Your next stop is forest lawn.
[A] You'll need something stronger than your Advil and Aleve.
If [E] you wanna eat and sleep [D] and stoop and crap [A] and piss and breathe.
