[Verse]
C Am
Wide eyed and 21 Another shot of Jamison
G F
To calm my nerves before this nightly masquerade
C Am
What people see as nonchalant A complex conditioned response
G F
A chemical reaction Brown liquor and self doubt
C Am
So I can stand up on this stage Like a guilty child avoiding blame
G F
I kick I scream I’d curse the name Of the girls that walked away
C Am
You see the man left holding the pen Controls how every story ends
G F
The truth becomes a martyr for the sake of the song
[Chorus]
G C G F
Yeah I’m in a good place I’m walking that straight line
Am G
I’m getting along righting these wrongs
F G C
One day at a time
F G Am F
[Verse]
C Am
For years the drinks were just a crutch Until the drinks were just too much
G F
I guess it comes with the job Hail hail rock and roll
C Am
You see songs fulfill a human need To sit back and watch another man bleed
G F
So for a moment we don’t have to feel sorry for ourselves
C Am
This imaginary confidence Became first line of defense
G F
If you don’t let them in boy They’ll never let you down
C Am
But she broke through And took control My sweetheart of the rodeo
G F
And for the first time I found something I couldn’t afford to lose
[Chorus]
G C G F
Yeah I’m in a good place I’m walking that straight line
Am G
I’m getting along righting these wrongs
F G C
One day at a time
[Verse]
C Am
Every now and then I miss The way that high ball glass would kiss
G F
My lips like a long lost love Welcoming me home
C Am
But I don’t miss the highs and lows The back and forth the ebenflow
G F
Of letting down the people That are standing up for me
[Chorus]
G C G F
Yeah I’m in a good place I’m walking that straight line
Am G
I’m getting along righting these wrongs
F G C
One day at a time
Am G F G C
Yeah I’m just getting along righting these wrongs one day at a time
