[Verse 1] (Acoustic guitar)
Am                    G
I'm on, my time, with everyone
Am                G
I have, very, bad posture
 
 
[Chorus] (Electric guitar with distortion)
C             D            Bb5
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C                D                  Bb5
  Distill the life that's inside of me
C             D            Bb5
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C       D         Bb5
  I'm anemic royalty
 
 
[Verse 2] (Acoustic guitar)
Am                      G
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
Am             G
So I can sigh eternally
 
 
[Chorus] (Electric guitar with distortion)
C           D          Bb5
  I'm so tired I can't sleep
C        D         Bb5
  I'm a liar and a thief
C             D            Bb5
  Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
C       D         Bb5
  I'm anemic royalty

Cherry-flavored antacids
