(NOTE: The chords aren't played in the song until the lyric "Lonesome lows...". The tab
is played.)
If you have any trouble with the rhythm it's basically all downstrokes on the downbeat.
The lack of light, hollow sea
Poison beaches, limousines
Toothless dentists, cops that kill
My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the red ones
[Da da da part is:]

Hard to hold, cold to touch
Fall to pieces, treat the rush
In hindsight, primetime talk
All your pain will end here
Let the doctor soothe your brain, dear
My baby's got the lonesome lows, don't quite go away overnight
Doctor Blind, just prescribe the blue ones
If the dizzying highs don't subside overnight
Docter Blind, just prescribe the red ones.
[Am E Em A Am E Em] x2
