 They’re pickin’ up pieces of  me,
 While they’re pickin’ up pieces of  you.
 In a bag you will be, before the day is over.
 Were you looking for somewhere to  be.
 Or looking for someone to  do.
 Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid you.
 And on the back of my  hand,
 Were,  directions I could understand.
 Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker,
 Has gone and ruined all our  plans.
 Our best-made plans.
 Don’t leave me here,  to cast through time,
 Without a map,  or road sign.
 Don’t leave me here,  my guiding light,
 ‘Cause I...  I...  wouldn’t know where to  begin.
 I asked the Kings of Medicine.
 They’re pickin’ up pieces of  me,
 While they’re pickin’ up pieces of  you.
 Lying on ice you will be before the day is over.
 It’s a case in point baby,
 That you never thought it through.
 Stupid me, that I could depend on stupid you.
 And on the tip of my  tongue,
 Were,  words that always came out  all wrong.
 ‘Cause they were drowned in Southern  Comfort,
 Left to dry-out in the Sun,
 The noon-day Sun.
 Don’t leave me here,  to cast through time,
 Without a map,  or road sign.
 Don’t leave me here,  my guiding light,
 ‘Cause I...  I...  wouldn’t know where to  begin.
 I asked the Kings of Medicine.
 But it seems that they’ve lost their  powers.
 Now all I’m left with is the  hour.
 Don’t leave me here,
 Don’t leave me  here, oh no-oh,
I  wouldn’t know where to begin.

[C5]  They’re pickin’ up pieces [G5]of me,
While they’re pickin’ up pieces o[F5]f you.
In a bag you will be, before the day is ove[C5]r.
Were you looking for somewhere t[G5]o be.
Or looking for someone to[F5] do.
Stupid me, to believe that I could trust in stupid y[E5]ou.
And on the back of m[F5]y hand,
Were[E5], directions I could und[F5]erstand.
[E5]   Now that old buzzard Johnny W[F5]alker,
[E5]   Has gone and ruined all ou[F5]r plans.
Our best-made plan[C5]s.

Don’t leave me he[G5]re, to cast through t[A5]ime,
Without a m[E5]ap, or road sign[C5].
Don’t leave me he[G5]re, my guiding li[A5]ght,
‘Cause I[E5]...  I..[F5].    wouldn’t know where t[E5]o begin.
[F5]  I asked the Kings of Med[E5]icine.

[C5]  They’re pickin’ up pieces of[G5] me,
While they’re pickin’ up pieces of[F5] you.
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over.[C5]
[C5]  It’s a case in point b[G5]aby,
That you never thought it th[F5]rough.
Stupid me, that I could depend on stupid you.[E5]
And on the tip of my[F5] tongue,
Were[E5], words that always came [F5]out all wrong.
[E5]   ‘Cause they were drowned in Southe[F5]rn Comfort,[E5]
Left to dry-out in the S[F5]un,
The noon-day S[C5]un.

Don’t leave me he[G5]re, to cast through t[A5]ime,
Without a m[E5]ap, or road sign[C5].
Don’t leave me he[G5]re, my guiding li[A5]ght,
‘Cause I[E5]...  I..[F5].    wouldn’t know where t[E5]o begin.
[F5]  I asked the Kings of Med[E5]icine.
[F5]   But it seems that they’ve lost t[E5]heir powers.
[F5]  Now all I’m left with is t[E5]he hour.

[C5]  Don’t leave me [G5]here,    [A5]             [E5]

[C5]   Don’t leave me[G5] here, oh no[A5]-oh,      [E5]
[E5]I wouldn’t know where to begin.
