you battle your mean spirit, i'm suffering through my own
E                                              B*

     Bm         A             G                  F#
with old ladies on tremedous amounts of coke and reeling
  E                                        B*
i hear my bad voice call, my wayward brain reels
E                          B*
my easily distracted brain reels
