Blood Capsules - tabbed by dumptruckfunk

I play this sightly differently to what Willneu97 had here already and I'm not 100% sure 
it's what's played on the record but I thinks it's pretty close. 
Feel free to flesh out the G and A in the verse into full bar chords if you want to add a 
bit more depth to an acoustic performance

E Em G A

E                                     Em
When the last of the East Coast money ran dry
G
And the casually-dressed bill collectors
A
Started casually dropping on by
E                 Em
And the residuals, but there weren't any more residuals
G
At least several months behind
A
On the payments to certain individuals

                        Bb6 
I strolled into the lobby
          A6
Mouth full
              E2
Blood capsules
                        Bb6 
I strolled into the lobby
          A6
Mouth full
              E
Blood capsules

I'm off the juice for seven months
I learn to like living clean
But there just isn't any money
On the independent scene
Not even if you're cutting corners
Staying in nights, eating alone
Somebody's gotta pay the gas bill 
It's not gonna go away on its own

I strolled into the lobby
Mouth full
Blood capsules
I strolled into the lobby
Mouth full
Blood capsules

Am                         Bm
I'm the biggest guy in the bank line
Em
Everybody else looks tiny
Am               Bm
I could almost smell the fear
C       G
On the lunch-hour car salesman behind me

[guitar solo - I think the chords stay the same as the verse for this (I may comeback and tab it out later)]

I know this isn't gonna work
I guess I'll see it when I see it
I can't work any other jobs
This was my last and best idea

I strolled into the lobby
Mouth full
Blood capsules
I strolled into the lobby
Mouth full
Blood capsules
