         Oh,  oh,  oh, oh

[Verse 1]
D               F#7#5        Bm7      Em7           G      G/A
Got a watchdog watching me, doggy, watching me packing my bags
Dmaj9         F#7#5   Bm7    Em7        G       G/A
He knows I'm leaving town, I can see that it's a drag
F#m7          A/B    Bm7   Em7        G/A           A  (G bass note)
Why leave the life I love here in the great state of Maine
F#m7               A/B     Bm7           Em7  F#m7  G      A/B
Just to ride that shining rail, just to size that ball and chain?

[Chorus]
E        C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7      F#m7     A/B
Oh, I got to spend just a little more time with you yeah, that's why I
E          C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E     C#m7    A     B7
Got to spend just a little more time with you my girl,    oh    oh
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7      F#m7     A/B
Got to spend just a little more time with you baby,   yes I do,     yes I do
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7           F#m7 B7  Em7  A7
Oh, I got to spend just a little bit more time with you yeah, yeah. Oh,  oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
D       F#7#5        Bm7      Em7           G      G/A
I passed on the cocaine, said bye-bye to my methadone.
Dmaj9               F#7#5     Bm7        Em7           G      G/A
Put down the bottle for one more day, backing off of my tobacco jones.
F#m7                       A/B    Bm7     Em7            G/A        A  (G bass note)
Still I'm feelin' like a hopeless junkie, like a man who can't say no.
F#m7          A/B     Bm7               Em7  F#m7  G    A/B
I look back and there's that monkey, rascal won't let go, let me go.

[Chorus]
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7      F#m7     A/B
Oh, I got to spend just a little more time with you oh, so help me now
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7   A     B7
Got to spend just a little more time with you my baby,      oh    oh
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7      F#m7     A/B
Got to spend just a little more time with you yes I do now, yes I do now baby
E            C#m7         F#m7       A/B      E      C#m7      F#m7 B7  Em7  A7

      Cmaj9       F#7#5   Bm7          Cmaj9      F#7#5   Bm7
I get high and I can't come down, I get high just hanging around
