        A5  G5  D5  D5  A5 (2x)
        B5  D5  E5  E5 (2x)

    A5         D5         A5         F#5
persuaded  paraded  inebriated  in doubt
        E5         E5
still aware of everything
     D5          A5        D5  D5  D5  E5 E5
life carries on without
            A5            D5
but theres one too many faces
       A5           F#5
with dollar sign smiles
          E5             E5
I've gotta find the shortest path
        D5          A5
to the bar    for awhile

(refr?o)
      A5      G5             D5    D5 A5
a long way from happiness
      A5    G5        D5    D5 A5
in a three hour away town
        A5     G5      D5    D5 A5
whiskey bottle over jesus
      B5      D5       E5  E5
not forever  just for now
      B5      D5       E5  E5
not forever  just for now

                 A5        D5
well theres a trouble around
     A5       F#5
its never far away
         E5              E5
the same troubles been around
       D5          A5   D5  E5  E5
for a life and a day
       A5                D5
now I can't forget the sound
          A5        F#5
cause its here to stay
             E5              E5
the sound of people chasing money
     D5                A5
and money    getting away

(solo base) A5  D5  A5  F#5  E5  E5  D5  A5  D5  E5  E5

       A5         D5          A5            F#5
in between the dirt and disgust there must be
      E5       E5
some air to breathe
        D5          A5     D5   E5  E5
and something to believe
   A5        D5          A5              F#5
liquor and guns   the sign says quite plain
         E5        E5
somehow life goes on
       D5           A5
in a place    so insane
