Standard tuning
[Intro]
G F C
G F C C7
[Verse]
G
Strung out on methadone and all her excuses
C D
Scared of the blues and the grays
G C
She’s never been gone, she’s broke down and then some
Am D
Whiles away most of her days
G
Halfway smoked cigarettes and all kinds of bad news
C D
Linger around in her lips
G C
Lighting 100’s with Red Lobster matches
Am D D7
What could be better than this?
[Chorus]
C D G F
Oh, but if you go downtown they’ll ask you to stay for a song
C D G
Careful my friend that you don’t hang around there too long
C D G F Em A
If you don’t watch out then you turn back around and you’ll be sucked in
G F C D G
You’ll never see the light of day again
[Verse]
G
So throw out the telephone and your verbal abuses
C D
Everytime I come around
G C
Feel himself changing conceals all his pain
Am D
In a glass only half full of amberish brown
G
Overexposure for underachievers
C D
Will win you a five dollar bet
G C
Trying to find something to replace the whiskey
Am D D7
But church-going women ain’t it
[Chorus]
C D G F
Oh, but if you go downtown they’ll ask you to stay for a song
C D G
Careful my friend that you don’t hang around there too long
C D G F Em A
If you don’t watch out then you turn back around and you’ll be sucked in
G F C D G F C A
You’ll never see the light of day again
G F C D G F C
You’ll never see the light of day again
[Solo]
Am C G D
Am C G
[Verse]
G
Four Lincoln Town Cars parked outside
C D
Beneath that magnolia tree
G C
All that glitter and sparkly chrome
Am D D7
Don’t tell you what lies underneath
[Chorus]
C D G F
Oh, but if you go downtown they’ll ask you to stay for a song
C D G
Careful my friend that you don’t hang around there too long
C D G F Em A
If you don’t watch out then you turn back around and you’ll be sucked in
G F C D G F C A
You’ll never see the light of day again
G F C D G F C A
You’ll never see the light of day again
G F C D G F C
You’ll never see the light of day again
C7 G
