Playing A Part chords by Jamey Johnson

V1

A                                         E
Taking a dip, on the sunset strip, in the mornin'.  Ain't nothin like the
                               A
smell of tofue and high dollar wine
                                              D
Except maybe all them cars lockin down the  I-5.
      A                                         E                    A
But I find it amazin, these rats I been chasin, helpin me remember a time.


Chorus

         D                             A                          E
When the only L A I knew was the lower alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah,
                          A
was wishing on a southern star.
         D                                                             A
Now it's so complicated. I really hated.  Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?
                                                     E
Taking depression pills, in the hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm
          A
plaiyn' a part.


V2
                                                     E
All this grippin and grinning.  Losin and winnin.  And runnin.
                                             A
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphault.
                                                         D
What the heck was thinkin'.  Drinkin' like I'd never get caught.
      A                                                   E
These high dollar women.  And the fame and the fortune.  Ain't worth the
         A
ticket I bought.

Chorus

         D                              A                     E
When the only L A I knew was the lower alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah,
                           A               D
was wishing on a southern star.  Now it's so complicated. I really hated.
                             A
Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?  Taking depression pills, in the hollywood
            E                         A
hills, and actin' like I'm plaiyn' a part.
                                                    E
Taking Depression pills in the hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm
         A
