I've made a few corrections here. They appear in parenthesis (I realize that this is generally the notation for a bass tone within a chord, but I don't know of the way you're supposed to show corrections, and I don't want to simply delete Scott's work) next to Scott's original chords. Thank you for taking the time to do this Scott!
:This is the first song I've ever transcribed, so any comments, :suggestions, or criticisms are appreciated. The chorus isn't :exactly right, so could someone familiar with the song let me :know if I'm on the right track?

:Twenty push-ups this morning :that was half of my goal :Tonight I'll be doin' pullups :on the toilet bowl :And somewhere there's somebody :A-throwin' up D7
:Well I broke the seal on my door :poured myself to bed :A whirlpool spinnin' around in my head :There was liquor on my breath :You were on my mind G7
