Standard Tuning

(When playing the C# minorC#m and B, play them as bar chords and alternate with letting the BB and high E MajorE string ring
out. In the Verses and Outro walk up on the E MajorE string in-between BB and A. The E MajorE walk up is the 6th string -
2nd fret to 4th fret before playing the A. Listen to the song to get accurate timing)

[Intro]
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA (x2)

[Verse]
Well he said,
C# minorC#m     BB
Hey, Mister can you tell me how far
      A augmentedA
A majorA walk it is to the nearest bar
C# minorC#m       BB          A augmentedA
So I can turn around and run the other way?
C# minorC#m        BB
Got a tendency to tie one on
             A augmentedA
If stupid was a shirt my sleeves would be long
C# minorC#m          BB     A augmentedA
I'm never too far from making my next mistake

[Chorus]
      E MajorE                        A augmentedA
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
BB           C# minorC#m           BB        A augmentedA
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober

[Verse]
       C# minorC#m       BB
And he said, Yeah, I'm a God fearing hard working man
          A augmentedA
But put the wrong thing in my hand
C# minorC#m         BB          A augmentedA
And I'm a back slider dyin' down a dead end road
C# minorC#m           BB
It all started with my first sip of beer
        A augmentedA
It's all a blur how it got from there to here
C# minorC#m       BB               A augmentedA
And twelve steps feels like a million more miles to go

[Chorus]
      E MajorE                        A augmentedA
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
    BB        C# minorC#m           BB        A augmentedA
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober

[Bridge]
G# minorG#m              A augmentedA
   I paid for my coffee and stepped out into the night
       G# minorG#m              A augmentedA         D MajorD
And he said, if I can just make it home today will make twenty-nine.

[Chorus]
      E MajorE                        A augmentedA
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
  BB     C# minorC#m          BB               A augmentedA
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
    BB        C# minorC#m           BB        A augmentedA
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober

C# minorC#m  BB        A augmentedA       C# minorC#m  BB  A augmentedA
           This side of sober.

[Outro]
Well he said,
C# minorC#m     BB
Hey, Mister can you tell me how far
      A augmentedA
A majorA walk it is to the nearest bar
C# minorC#m       BB           A augmentedA
