[Verse 1]
[C]I was just a normal guy
Life was just a nine to five
With bills and pressure piled up to the [G]sky
She never asked, she knew I'd been
Hangin' with my wilder friends
Looking for some other way to [C]fly

[Verse 2]
And [C]three days straight was no big feat
Could get by with no food or sleep
And [F]crazy was was be[Em]coming my [Dm]new norm
I'd [C]pass out on the bedroom floor
[G]Sleep right through the calm before the [C]storm
[Bb]My

[Chorus 1]
[F]life was just an old routine
[G]Every day the same damn thing
I [C]couldn't even [Bb]tell I was a[F]live
I tell [C]you, the high cost of livin'
Ain't [G]nothing like the cost of livin' [C]high

[Verse 3]
That [C]Southern Baptist parking lot
Is where I'd go to smoke my pot
Sit there in my pickup truck and [G]pray
Staring at that giant cross
Just reminded me that I was lost
And it just never seemed to point the [C]way

[Verse 4]
As [C]soon as Jesus turned his back
I'd find my way across the track
[F]Lookin' just to sco[Em]re another dea[Dm]l
With my [C]back against that damn eight ball
I [G]didn't have to think or [C]talk or feel
[Bb]My

[Chorus 2]
[F]life was just an old routine
[G]Every day the same damn thing
I [C]couldn't even [Bb]tell I was a[F]live
I tell [C]you, the high cost of livin'
Ain't [G]nothing like the cost of livin' [C]high[Bb]
[C][C][Bb]

[Verse 5]
[C]My whole life went through my head
Layin' in that motel bed
Watchin' as the cops kicked in the [G]door
I had a job and a piece of land
My sweet wife was my best friend
But I traded that for cocaine and a [C]whore

[Verse 6]
With [C]my new found sobriety
I've got the time to sit and think
Of [F]all the things I [Em]had and threw aw[Dm]ay
This [C]prison is much colder than
That [G]one that I was locked up in,
[C]just yesterday
[Bb]My

[Chorus 3]
[F]life is just an old routine
[G]Every day the same damn thing
Hell [C]I can't even t[Bb]ell if I'm al[F]ive
I tell [C]you, the high cost of livin'
Ain't [G]nothing like the cost of livin' [C]high
I tell you, the high cost of livin'
It ain't [G]nothing like the cost of livin' [C]high[Bb]
[C][C][Bb]
