[C]
The empty bottle was half empty, tired, slow, and I was [D] [F] thirsty.
Saw her sitting at the porch.
Well, you know how some girls [C] are always making eyes.
Well, [G] she wasn't making [F]
eyes.
[C] So I, I sidled up beside her, settled down, and shouted at her,
[E] My [F] name's Stuart Ransom Miller.
I'm a serial lady [D] killer.
She [C] said, I'm already dead.
And that's [G] exactly what [F] she said.
So [C] we tripped.
The light's fantastic.
We was both made of elastic.
[E] [F] Midnight came, midnight went.
I thought I was the [D] president.
She [C] said, do you have a car?
[G] And I said, do I [F] have a car?
[D] [G] What's so great about the [C] earrings?
[G] What's so fun [C] about us?
[F] What's so good about a good [C] time spent?
When [A] [G] you're working on a broken, working on a broken, [F] working on a [C] broken man.

My heart was in it.
Not for one single [E] minute.

Her on top and me [C] on liquor.
Didn't do no good.
[G] But I didn't think [F] anymore.
[G] What's so great about the [C] earrings?
Yeah, [G] what's so fun?

What's [F] so good about a [G] good time spent?
