["Cindy's On Methadone"]

[Intro]
A            D                B                  E
  Cindy's on methadone, she's through with the syringe
A            D                B          E (with slides from D#)
  Cindy's on methadone, she's off of heroin

[Verse]
A          D                 B                E
  Cindy is doing well, we're glad to have her home
A              D              B              E
  She slept in vomit, now she sleeps on methadone

[Chorus]
        D               A       E
But she stopped ripping off her neighbors
D              A           E
Stopped taking change from strangers
D                A       E       D               E
Stopped shooting needles full of dreams into her arms

[Verse]
Cindy's on methadone, we see it in her eyes
Sounds so much better but it's just another high

[Chorus]
But she stopped calling at three-thirty
Stopped looking thin and dirty
Stopped screaming bloody murder when she got cut off

[ A / D / B / E ] x2 (with lead A)

              D              A      E
Why don't you stop with your fake solutions
D             A      E
Stop covering up the truth and
D              A           E
Stop trying to make things smooth and
D           A          E
Stop acting like she's stupid

[ A / D / B / E ] x4 to end (with lead B)
