[Intro ]
G C G Em G D
G C G Em G D
[Verso 1]
G
I fell a long way down
C G
From the high horse I was riding
Em G
When I hit the ground
D
I shattered into pieces
G
And this fourteen dollar bottle
C G
Was three quarters empty
Em G
And the half pack of lights
D G
Barely made it through the night
[Refrão]
C G
And I relapsed again
D G
In a motel in Kentucky
C G D G
Rock bottom always has a vacant room for me
C G
And tonight you'll find me there
D G
Hanging with my doubt
C D G
It ain't hard to be down and out
{Instrumental}
C G Em G D
[Verso 2]
G
And the TV in the corner
C G
Was just for decoration
Em G D
At least I'm not the only one who's broken in the room
G
I could take too many bars
C G
And walk out there with Jesus
Em G
If I could close my eyes
D G
Would anybody care
[Refrão]
C G
And I relapsed again
D G
In a motel in Kentucky
C G D G
Rock bottom always has a vacant room for me
C G
And tonight you'll find me there
D G
Hanging with my doubt
C D G
It ain't hard to be down and out
