Intro: G5-F5-E5   (These can also be played as full chords: G-F-Em)

G                        Em

  Took her pills and her magazines

Am                     C

  Left her lying in her misery

G                         Em

  He was locked up in his room

Am                         C                         G5

  Colored pinwheels as the sirens whine down the avenue

(G5)           F5

Think about it once

                     E5

Take your time don't fuss

What you got to lose

          G5

Everybody choose

               F5

Think about it once

                      E5

Take your time, don't fuss

All the dog-eared pages on your shelf

You never talk except about yourself

All the red eyes in the room

Tried to rearrange your world for you

Think about it once

Take your time, don't fuss

What you got to lose

Everybody choose

Think about it, once

What you got to lose

Bridge: Bb-Ab

As he pulled his pad and scribbled "suicide"

The county coroner, he shook his head from side to side

He was a little less than pleased

Very pale and very tired

The toil of love had brought them to their knees

Think about it once

Take your time, don't fuss

What you got to lose

Everybody choose

etc.

End song by strumming G-F-Em slowly
