E C#m
I checked into a bargain-priced room on La Cienaga
F#m A E
Gazed out through the curtains at the parking lot
E C#m
Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my bare feet
F#m A E
Black tarry asphalt, soft and hot
F#m E
And when I came back, I spread out my supplies
F#m B
On the counter by the sink, looked myself right in the eyes
[Chorus]
E
St. Joseph's baby aspirin
A B
Bartles and Jaymes
E
And you
A B E
Or your memory
[Verse 2]
E C#m
I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise
F#m A E
Gathered in my loose ends switched off the light
E C#m
And down there in the dark I could see the real truth about me
F#m A E
As clear as day, Lord, if I make it through tonight
F#m E
Then I will mend my ways
F#m B
And walk the straight path to the end of my days
[Chorus]
E
St. Joseph's baby aspirin
A B
Bartles and Jaymes
E
And you
A B
Or your memory
