sore head.

Some of my teeth were gone, and I was drinking mashed taters through a straw.

who proceeded to express his disapproval of the lines that I crossed. 

                     G                       A 
Well, they told me I could leave, so I put my clothes back on. 
                C                     D 
I stumbled past the waiting room just minding my own. 
        G                    A                         C

says, "Excuse me sir, but um?"
