Morphine by Micah Erenberg
Morphine
[Verse 1]
C D G
When I was only 12 years old I really messed myself right up
C D G G7
I caught my left foot in a lawn mower, cut my big toe half way off
C D G
And when I got down to the hospital it was like Vietnam in war
C D G G7
We were higher than hot balloons on morphine, I nearly flew right off the floor
[Verse 2]
C D G
I flew on down to that big city and doctor said "Man, you've got it good,
C D G G7
But why do you look so goddamn happy, what's got you in such a good mood?"
C D G
I said "Well doc, I'm higher than a telephone wire, you gotta get me some more of that stuff"
C D G G7
He said "You're only 12 years old son, it's probably best if you sober up"
[Verse 3]
C D G G7
So I went looking through my teen years for something better than that good morphine
C D G G7
Well I tried magic shrooms and acid, I tried coke and ketamine
C D G G7
Well I tried love, I tried religion and I tried nothing at all, too
C D G G7
I tried ancient meditations, and eating all organic food
[Verse 4]
C D G G7
But by 20 years old I was sure I knew I wasn't going to find Jesus anytime soon
C D G G7
So I kept that search for the God I knew, from the age of 12 and every day on through
[Chorus]
C G
Morphine, get me some of that morphine
D G
I wanna get me a good, clean hit, some of that medical grade shit
C G
I wanna feel like 1942, me and my buddy in the battle-front platoon
D G
I don't want no west-coast junkie HIV, but I want it intravenously
C G
Come on, sugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a little tiny bit but I won't ever get enough
D
Won't you please please please please please please please,
G
Get me more more more more more morphine
C G
Morphine, get me some of that morphine
D
I wanna get me that junk that makes the walls melt,
G
Takes away the pain that I thought I felt
[Verse 5]
C D G G7
Well I heard that morphine goes straight to your head and I heard about all those nasty side effects
C D G G7
Involuntary vomiting and muscles spasms, pain replaces good orgasms
C D G G7
Heard one dose causes OCD, and I'm pretty sure that's just what happened to me
C D G G7
Every single day the needle hit my vein, I can't get that drug off my good ol brain
[Chorus]
C G
Morphine, get me some of that morphine
D G
I wanna get me a good, clean hit, some of that medical grade shit
C G
I wanna feel like 1942, me and my buddy in the battle-front platoon
D G G7
I don't want no west-coast junkie HIV, but I want it intravenously
C G
Come on, sugar daddy, won't you hook me up? I want a little tiny bit but I won't ever get enough
D
Won't you please please please please please please please,
G G7
Get me more more more more more morphine
C G
Morphine, oh I want that morphine
D G
I wanna turn into an machine, I wanna shoot my self into a dream
C
I'm gonna get so bloody wild and crazy,
G G7 C
They're gonna call me the very next Charlie Sheen
G D G
Get me some of that sweet medicine
