  26 I'm trippin over dumb drunks at a party
  27 F                      G                 A
  28 My girlfriend just ran off with the DJ
  29 A
  30 I'd give her everything I had, but she refused it
  31 F                        G                         A
  32 It don't matter now, she don't know how to use it
  33 C
  34 My confidence is dwindling
  35 D
  36 Look at the shape I'm in
  37 C
  38 Where's my pearls, where's the swine?
  39 D                                           (n.c.)
  40 I'm not thirsty, but I'm standing in line.
  41                     A
  42 I'll have the usual
  43
  44 Yeah, I'll have the usual
  45
  46 Fifty silhouettes now tumblin' on the dance floor
  47 Pink elephants fallin' through a trap door
  48 Sixty cigarettes a day because I'm nervous
  49 When will that bitch begin to serve us?
  50 I used to be a good boy, livin' the good life
  51 Fifty thousand kisses later she was a housewife
  52 She was good, I was unkind
  53 I'm not thirsty, but I'm standin' in line
  54 I'll have the usual, yeah
  55 I'll have the usual
  56
  57 Big Jim says that the second comin's comin'
  58 I think he must be seein' double or something
  59 You can hang around here, waiting for the offerings<br />
  60  I can't win, but I've seen enough, man
  61 A fifth of whisky keep the doctor away
  62 A little more and it's judgment day
  63 I had a future, but she just passed out
  64 I'm gonna drink until I see what am I talkin' about
  65 I'll have the usual, yeah<br />
  66  I'll have the usual
  67 I'll have the usual
  68 Yeah, the usual
