[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][G][D][G]
[Em][Am][G][D]

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]cruising fast
on a motorcycle down this [Em]winding country road
[Am]And I pass the gravel on
the foot of the hill
Where [D]last week I fell off
[G]There's still some oil by the old elm tree
And a [Em]dead squirrel that I hit
But if I [Am]hadn't left,
I would've struck you dead
So [D]I took a ride instead
Bottoming out[G], bottoming o[Em]ut
I'm bottoming [Am]out , bottom[G]ing [D]out
My [G]doctor says she hopes I know
how [Em]lucky I can [Am]be
After all, it wasn't my blood mixed
in the [D]dirt that [G]night[Em]
[Am]And we must really examine this
And I [D]say I need another
[G]drink[Em][Am]
Bottom[D]ing out
I'm [G]tearing down Route Eighty East
The sun[Em]'s on my right side
I'm [Am]drunk, but my vision's good,
and I [D]think of my child [G]bride[Em]
I aim [Am]that bike at the fat pothole bey
[D]ond that und[G]erpass[Em]
[Am]Bottoming [D]out

[Outro 1]
