The kids are all in bed F Dm And everything but you is in its place Dm F From the street view lookin' in F Dm It's pretty as a picture F Our home sweet home CHORUS: C Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Em Sometimes I wish I liked pills Am Wish I could sleep with a stranger F But someone like me never will C Sometimes I hardly can stand it Em I just smile with a lump in my throat Am Sometimes I wish I could bear it F C Em Am F And didn't have to wear this sugar coat VERSE TWO: C Em Passed down from my mom Em F She worried so well F She rested on my shoulders F Dm Says it's cold out there, anything F Would I recognize myself F Dm With anybody else? If I took the damn thing off F And burned it CHORUS: C Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Em Sometimes I wish I liked pills Am Wish I could sleep with a stranger F But someone like me never will C Sometimes I hardly can stand it Em I just smile with a lump in my throat Am Sometimes I wish I could bear it F C And didn't have to wear this sugar coat POST-CHORUS: Em Am F Oh, this damn sugar coat BRIDGE: Dm F In one of these nights I'll meet you in the driveway Dm And tell you to go to hell F Go to hell CHORUS: C Sometimes I wish I liked drinkin' Em Sometimes I wish I liked pills Am Wish I could sleep with a stranger F But someone like me never will C Sometimes I hardly can stand it Em I just smile with a lump in my throat Am Sometimes I wish I could bear it F C And didn't have to wear this sugar coat POST-CHORUS: Em Am F This damn sugar coat C Em Oh, this sugar coat Am F This damn sugar coat THE END
