Intro

D--F#m--Em--F#m--G--F#m--Em--A--;

I took a walk around the yard

 Dug the flowers til it got too hard

 I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today

 And, I watched the children play.

 And, then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe

 Put a half a case away

 I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV

 But you know baby the leading lady looked

 too much like you for the likes of me.

 And, I woke up crying in my sleep

 I was talking to your pillow

 And I reached out to touch your hand

 And knocked the phone off the nightstand

 And the operator said, "May I help you please?"

No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me

 I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me

A D A--G--A

I just had a bad dream.

Went out to loosen up the car

 Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar

 I had a scotch and soda on the run

 But, I didn't get too far.

 And, then I ran down, down some friends I used to know

 Dragged them out to see the show

 I drew myself a bath and I tried to read your book

 But you know baby this time it just didn't seem

 quite worth the time it took.

 And, I woke up crying in my sleep

 I was talking to your pillow

 And I reached out to touch your hand

 And knocked the phone off the nightstand

 And the operator said, "May I help you please?"

No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me

 I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me

A D A G--A

I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me...
