[Am][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Mama's grippin' on her hip[F]
on the fifth of [C]May
In a photo daddy [G]took on a humid [Am]day
In a town that's [F]anyone's guess
[C]Way out in western Kentuck[G]y
[Am]She's broken hearted as he's ridin[F]' away
On a [C]motorbike out to [G]east L.A
[Am]To find a white line
[F]It's such a fine line
[C]Between broken and lucky[G]

[Chorus 1]
[F]Gettin' high's ea [C]sy
Gettin' drunk's [G]fine
It's the gettin' [Am]by that'll get us[G] all d[F]own
So if you [C]need me
Know that I'm [G]bleeding
Somewhere a[Am]lone in some [G]coastal
[F]tow[C]n[G]
[Am]Some coast[G]al
[F]tow[C]n[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]And I can feel
when your [F]body ain't in this [C]bed
I can still hear you [G]laughing
last spring in my [Am]head
Now it's April and I [F]hate you
and I'm heading [C]home[G]
[Am]The little notes that you left[F] for me
In [C]coat pockets and ca[G]binetries
[Am]Are in a shoebox
[F]from when we once talked
[C]Back when I felt fre[G]e

[Chorus 2]
[F]Gettin' high's ea [C]sy
Gettin' drunk's [G]fine
It's the gettin' [Am]by that'll get us[G] all d[F]own
So if you [C]need me
Know that I'm [G]bleeding
Somewhere a[Am]lone in some [G]coastal
[F]tow[C]n[G]
[Am]Some coast[G]al
[F]tow[C]n[G]
