(Verse 1)
(Bm) Mama’s grippin' on her (G)hip on the fifth of (D)May
In a photo daddy (A)took in a humid day
(Bm) In a town that's (G)anyone's guess
(D)Way out in western Ken-(A)tucky
(Bm) She's broken-hearted as he's (G)ridin' away
On a (D)motorbike out to (A)east L.A.
(Bm) To find a white line
(G) It's such a fine line (D) between broken and (A)lucky
 
(Chorus)
(G) Gettin' high's (D)easy, gettin' drunk is (A)fine
It's the gettin' (Bm)by that'll (A)get us all (G)down
So, if you (D)need me, know that I'm (A)bleeding
Somewhere a-(Bm)lone in some (A)coastal (G) town (D) (A)
(Bm) Some (A)coastal (G) town (D) (A) (Bm)

(Verse 2)
(Bm) And I can feel when your (G)body ain't in this (D)bed
I can still hear you (A)laughing last spring in my (Bm)head
Now it's April and I (G)hate you and I'm heading home (D/F#) (Em)
(Bm) The little notes that you (G)left for me
In (D/F#)coat pockets and (Em)cabinetries
(Bm) Are in a shoebox (G) where we once talked
(D/F#) Back when I felt (A)free
 
(Chorus)
(G) Gettin' high's (D)easy, gettin' drunk is (A)fine
It's the gettin' (Bm)by that'll (A)get us all (G)down
So if you (D)need me, know that I'm (A)bleeding
Somewhere a-(Bm)lone in some (A)coastal (G) town (D) (A)
(Bm) Some coastal (G) town (D) (A) (Bm)
 
(Verse 1)
(Bm) Mama's grippin' on her (G)hip on the fifth of (D)May
In a photo daddy (A)took in a humid day
(Bm) In a town that's (G)anyone's guess
(D)Way out in western Kentucky (A)
 
(Chorus)
(G) Gettin' high's (D)easy, gettin' drunk is (A)fine
It's the gettin' (Bm)by that'll (A)get us all (G)down
So if you (D)need me, know that I'm (A)bleeding
Somewhere a-(Bm)lone in some (A)coastal (G) town (D) (A)
