Intro:
C#m  B
 
 
  E                         B            E
A mouth full of teeth and a head full of brains
                                A           E
Each morning, the soft rush of blood in my veins
                                  A        
The lips taste, the feet walk, a heart pounds within
               E           B            C#m   B   
But I'm barely human after one glass of gin
 
     E                           B            E
What footprints are these in the fresh fallen snow
                              A            E
And what kind of creature has hurt my wife so
                                  A
Who kicked down the front door, I must have been gone
           E          B             E
I'm barely human from twilight 'til dawn
 

Key change to F 
 
      F                          C              F
She's fed up, she's leaving, and this time, for real
                             Bb        F
But the thirst in my body is all I can feel
                                Bb
So slowly the clock turns, 'til night falls at last
              F            C               Dm     C     
If I'm barely human, I can still lift the glass.
 
 
With one sip, the gin hits and wipes my head clean
And it brings me a vision, a boy of 15
His eyes raised to heaven, his heart strong and brave
                F          C                F  
But I'm barely human as I fall to my grave
