G G/F# Em
Maybe you can work it out
C C/B Am
It will be easy when I?m not around

But come Sunday I?ll be feeling down
C C/B D
You can run right back to me
G G/F# Em
But I can?t tell you where I go
C C/B Am
Maybe you don?t need to know
G G/F# Em
This path the road leads me down
C C/B D
Ain?t the same others see
[Refrão]Am D/F#
Cause there?s highs and there?s lows

I can?t tell the sky from the ground

It?s gonna be another long night
Am G D/F#
I see the lights of the next town

And I can?t slow down
G G/F# Em
It was good to be back home
C C/B Am
But when you left I got drunk alone
G G/F# Em
I let the whiskey burn a hole
C C/B D
Right through you and me
G G/F# Em
But I?m too scared to put it down
C C/B Am
Cause it gets me to the next town
G G/F# Em
And if that?s wrong at least you know
C D
You can always blame me
Chorus
Am D/F#
Cause I?m high and I?m low

Sorry for all the ?/? chords. If it?s not your style and
it doesn?t sound any different to you, you can leave them
off and play the chord ?x? of ?x/y.? The ?y? is just a
bass note added on that is meant to give the chord a little
different feel. Here are some fingerings:
G/F#: 200033 (or how I like to play it 200233)
C/G: 332010
D/F#: 200232
C/B: 020010
-Have fun,
