Asus2 E B C#m  (x2)



🎸 Verse 1:
C#m          A          E
Mama's grippin' on her hip on the fifth of May
         B       C#m
In a photo daddy took in a humid day
         A
In a town that's anyone's guess
   E         B
Way out in western Kentucky
C#m              A
She's broken-hearted as he's ridin' away
   E        B
On a motorbike out to east L.A.
C#m
To find a white line
A

It's such a fine line
E          B
Between broken and lucky

🎸 Chorus:
A        E
Gettin' high's easy
         B
Gettin' drunk is fine
        C#m     B      A
It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down
      E
So if you need me
        B
Know that I'm bleeding
      C#m      B    A
Somewhere alone in some coastal town

🎸 Verse 2:
C#m            A         E
And I can feel when your body ain't in this bed
            B            C#m
I can still hear you laughing last spring in my head
           A            E  B
Now it's April and I hate you and I'm heading home

🎸 Verse 3:
C#m            A
The little notes that you left for me
  E         B
In coat pockets and cabinetries
C#m        A
Are in a shoebox where we once talked
E         B
Back when I felt free

🎸 Chorus:
A        E
Gettin' high's easy
         B
Gettin' drunk is fine
        C#m     B      A
It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down
      E
So if you need me
        B
Know that I'm bleeding
      C#m      B    A
Somewhere alone in some coastal town
