Cheap Cocaine

G C G G D G G C G D G G C G Eight miles out of Galesburg, I'm starin' at the rain, G D G Eight-ball left of the cheap cocaine, G C G And I'm lookin' at the sunlight, light through the pines: G D G Couldn't tell ya what it is, but it's always been mine. G C G Now that I'm gone I think of the man G D G With a meth pipe clutched in his bone-thin hand, G C G I said, hey brother, I hope you get straight G D G But I bet I don't meet him at the pearly gates. G Bm I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain, C D G A little heartbreak, a little soul pain, G Bm I been up all night on the cheap cocaine, C D G Tryna make it better but it's always the same. G C G G D G G C G D G G C G Well I made a few new friends in a Rockford bar, G D G I told 'em all lies, I said I was in charge G C G Of the afterparty, where the gals would be loose, G D G I partied with the metalheads with gin and juice. G C G Hung over as hell, I slept in shit on the lawn, G D G I'm tired of twenty-somethins and their punkrock songs. G C G Wake up in the mornin' and stumble towards the down, G D G sayin' 'how ya doin, boy, it's been too long." D G sayin' 'how ya doin, boy, it's been too long." G Bm I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain, C D G A little heartbreak, a little soul pain, G Bm I been up all night on the cheap cocaine, C D C G Tryna make it better but it's always the same. G D G G C G D G G C G On the streets of Chicago with sidekick Sally G D G I was hittin' up the bars on Viagra Alley G C G Where the men pick up women not half their age. G D G All I had for them was my tears and my rage. G C G And I thought it was a fight, so I went for my knife, G And the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife. G C G And I was so ashamed that I hung back and cried, G D G Leave all that to Saint Peter, wait till I die. D C G Leave all that to Saint Peter, wait till I die. G Bm I sing: Hey mamma I been starin' at the rain, C D G A little heartbreak, a little soul pain, G Bm I been up all night on the cheap cocaine, C D C G Tryna make it better but it's always the same. G D G G C G D G G Bm I been up all night, starin' at the sky, C D G And I’m so lonely, but I couldn't tell, I couldn't tell you why.
