Notes about this song:

  • See bottom for definition of the RIFF

Em  A  Em  A (w/RIFF each time)                                            
                                                                           
Em                          A                             Em     A         
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul                   
Em                          A                             Em     A         
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul                   
G                    A             G                            A          
Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say  
        G                    A                                             
And I'd do it all again if I had to today                                  
      C               D             Em  A   Em  A (w/RIFF each time)       
When all is said and done, I'm the one                                     
                                                                           
It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind             
It's a long hard road when your friends start dropping like flies          
Some might go for poison, some go for too much love                        
Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up                       
                                                                           
Em  A   4 TIMES (w/RIFF)

Cocaine eyes won't hide your face

It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend
