🎸 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
