Verse 1

Am I walked to the corner, went in the store Am/G Familiar the smell, bourbon and quarts D9/F# Cashier said, nice to see you again F I smiled, I grabbed my shit and left Am Hours later, numb in the face Am/G I got to her house, a dodgy place D9/F# She walked bent over, a crippled back F Years of abuse, wrong side of the tracks Am She offered me a vodka cran Am/G Asked me if I had a plan D9/F# F Hesitant to say what I was thinking, god damn

Chorus

Am G I’m treading the same rake D I’m way above the stakes Am G A bullet, a bullet D D Is on it’s way to me, oh Am G A bullet, A bullet D It’s life or death for me Am G D D I’m on my own Am G D And I’m so alone Re-Intro

Verse 2

Am She sat in the corner, smoked on the floor Am/G I asked her what lead to becoming a whore D9/F# “Careers were never my closest friend F And cash is king, my dividend Am To pick my brain, and watch me pall” Am/G A cloud of smoke, numbed her fall D9/F# F I watched her as she pierced into her veins Am She said she was stuck, worst of the beds Am/G The ugliest place, that she ever had been D9/F# Balmoral Hotel, the best of the inns F Supplies are steady, you can begin Am Your quest to freedom, calm your skin Am/G Fear diminish, start again D9/F# F I’ve always kinda wondered what that meant

Chorus
