my paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live but even then
it sounds so soothing
this will blow over in time
C G Am (Do the run here as well)
this will all blow over in time
I'm just an honest man

C/G F#m (flat 5)
natural disasters on the evening news
(#5)/Ab

F#m (flat 5)
my paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink
as long as I live but even then
it sounds so soothing
to mix a drink
and sink into oblivion
I promised to my wife and children
that accident
left everyone a little shook up
but at the meetings
I felt so empty
this will blow over in time
this will all blow over in time
