        A  G  D  D  A (2x)
        Bm  D  E  E4 (2x)

    A         D         A         F#m
persuaded  paraded  inebriated  in doubt
        E         E4
still aware of everything
     D          A        D  D4  D  E E4
life carries on without
            A            D
but theres one too many faces
       A           F#m
with dollar sign smiles
          E             E4
I've gotta find the shortest path
        D          A
to the bar    for awhile

(refr?o)
      A      G             D    D A
a long way from happiness
      A    G        D    D A
in a three hour away town
        A     G      D    D A
whiskey bottle over jesus
      Bm      D       E  E4
not forever  just for now
      Bm      D       E  E4
not forever  just for now

                 A        D
well theres a trouble around
     A       F#m
its never far away
         E              E4
the same troubles been around
       D          A   D  E  E4
for a life and a day
       A                D
now I can't forget the sound
          A        F#m
cause its here to stay
             E              E4
the sound of people chasing money
     D                A
and money    getting away

(play chorus again)

(solo base) A  D  A  F#m  E  E4  D  A  D  E  E4

       A         D          A            F#m
in between the dirt and disgust there must be
      E       E4
some air to breathe
        D          A     D   E  E4
and something to believe
   A        D          A              F#m
liquor and guns   the sign says quite plain
         E        E4
somehow life goes on
       D           A
in a place    so insane
