[Verse 1]
G D
She walked up to me in a downtown bar
Em C
Had sunken cheeks and a facial scar
G D
Hair that hadn't been combed in days
C
And lazy eyes that went in opposite ways
G D
The few teeth that showed, when she smiled
Em C
Made her look like a crocodile
G D
Her breathe was enough to make me sick
C
She said for 5 dollars I'll suck your-r-r
[Chorus 1]
G D
Whoa...well, oh no
Em C
I'm just having a drink before I do my show
G D
Appreciate the offer but the answer is no
C
So move on
[Verse 2]
G D
She stared at me and looked perplexed
Em C
Guess what I said hadn't set in yet
G D
She put her boney hand on my thigh
C
Said come on baby let's go outside
G D
Well before I could reply she was knocked to the floor
Em C
By the burly bouncer who manned the door
G D
He snatched her up by her ratty hair
C
Dragged her into the cold night air and said
[Chorus 2]
G D Em C
Go home...don't you ever show your face 'round here no more
G D C
Take your nasty ass and get it on down the road
[SOLO]
[Verse 3]
G D
Well I took the stage and played all night long
Em C
To a bunch of drunks who didn't like my songs
G D
When I was done I collected my pay
C
Packed up my guitar and went on my way
G D
Then I ran into that girl just outside
Em C
She was stumbling out of some old dude's ride
G D
Had a busted up mouth and tears in her eyes
C
I felt a big sorrow well up inside
G D
Reached in my pocket pulled out my money
Em C
Handed it to her and said take this honey
G D
Get yourself some food and a place to rest
C
Clean yourself up cause you look a mess
G D
Well she wasn't sure if I was putting her on
Em C
If maybe I was a cop or a two-bit con
G D
She took the money - didn't even say thanks
C C C C C C C C C
And hauled-ass into the night
[Chorus 3]
G D
But hey, it's alright
Em C
Sometimes when you just can't handle life
G D C
If we take care of each-other, things will work out fine
G D Em C
It'll work out fine
G D C
Work out fine
G D Em C
It'll be alright
G D C C C C G
Be alright
