(Riff)
Living to get his freak on,
Sporting his leopard skin thong
(Dm, C) G
Charlie the Methadone Man
Plays Sunday nights in a rock and roll band
Charlie the metronome, the methadone man

(Riff)
Patience - the name of the game
Waiting on Dr. Kinkaid
(Dm, C) G
Charlie the Methadone Man
Fills out the papers just as fast as he can
Charlie the methadone, the methadone man

(Am, C) G
When you're all alone
And you got nowhere to go
Better take it slow
Oh you get so tired of where you are

(Riff)
Kicking his lonely lit brain
Drinking to try and stay sane
(Dm, C) G
Charlie the Methadone Man
Chases his tail just as fast as he can
Charlie the methadone, the methadone man

Kicking...
