Living to get his freak on,
Sporting his leopard skin thong
( Dm , C ) G
Charlie the Methadone Man

Plays Sunday nights in a rock and roll band

Charlie the metronome, the methadone man
(Riff)
Patience - the name of the game

Waiting on Dr. Kinkaid

(Riff)
Kicking his lonely lit brain

Drinking to try and stay sane
( Dm , C ) G
Charlie the Methadone Man

Chases his tail just as fast as he can

Charlie the methadone, the methadone man

Kicking...
