Mr President

E                                 D
I'm so hungry, haven't eaten for days now
E                         D
I can't focus, I tend to space out
E                           D
The pawn shop's got my CD player
E                             D
And I pay a bill or two that way
E                          D
The landlord is about to evict me
E                                D
So I creep through to hallway quickly
E                                  D
I leave the mail in a pile on the floor
E                                     D
In case the bastard peaks though the door


[Pre-Chorus]
A                            F#
   The situation's getting worse by the hour
A                                 F#
   I wrestle roaches the size of rats in the shower


[Chorus]
     E                D
But, don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G           A
Go back to sleep now!
E                 D
Don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                       D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G                A
Just count your sheep now,
C           D         E
Go back to sleep now!


[Verse]
   E                                D
My Mom has started to fear all strangers
E                                             D
The neighborhood, she says, is getting too dangerous
E                                   D
She's too afraid to even go to the store
E
She says there's junkies outside the door
E                                            D
And she's convinced that they're all out to get her
E                                       D
She's too afraid to even open up her letters
E                             D
So if you can look into this ASAP
  E                                 D
I know your a busy man, but please help me


[Pre-Chorus]
A                           F#
   The situation's getting worse by the minute
A                                  F#
   I'm eating rock-hard bread with rat droppings in it


[Chorus]
     E                D
But, don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G           A
Go back to sleep now!
E                D
Don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                       D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G                A
Just count your sheep now,
C           D         E
Go back to sleep now!

G   A


[Verse]
E
And when we go to clubs we don't allways get in
E
'Cause according to the bouncer we don't fit in
E
So we're stuck on park benches sittin',
G                      A
drinkin' as the temperature just keeps sinkin'
E                              D
The social worker hands me a folder
E                                          D
But were not going although were growing colder
E                             D
frustrated with the bottle'o'gin in the hand
E                                D
Yes you can already get in to imagine man


[Pre-Chorus]
A                                F#
   That the situation's getting worse every second
A                             F#
   I'm lucky to reach middle age now I reckon

[Chorus]
     E
But, don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G           A
Go back to sleep now!
E                D
Don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                       D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G                A
Just count your sheep now,
C           D         E
Go back to sleep now!

E                D
Don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                D
And not fine, except for some tenents
G           A
Go back to sleep now!
E                D
Don't cry Mr. President
E                           D
I won't lie, the danger's evident
E                                       D
And not fine, but I just can't pay the rent
G                A
Just count your sheep now,
C           D         E
Go back to sleep now!
