Written by Eric Church, Casey Beath & Monty Criswell
Recorded by Eric Church
Intro. (D) x 2 bars
(Verse 1)
(D) I was no daddy's dream, was not your momma's prayer
But I was your first and your last ticket out of there
(G) I caught your wings on fire, when I smoked my bronco tires
(D)Out of that town
(Verse 2)
(D) I'm good at rollin' dice, no good at standin' still
You liked the thought of chasin’, life instead of dollar bills
(G) We were livin' wreckless, nothin' to catch us, baby
(D)But the ground
(Chorus)
(Bm) This ain't (A)for everybody, (G) toes hang-(D)in’ off the ledge
(Bm) Like we (A)got nothin' to (G)lose
(Bm) Ain't al-(A)ways Heaven, baby, (G) this liv-(D)in’ on the edge
(Em) You holdin' (F#m)me, holdin' you, (G) it's a Hell of a (D)view
(Verse 3)
(D) I paint with my old Gibson, you paint your purple sky
This town's our canvas, baby, let's paint it red tonight
(G) Go out like shootin' stars, chasin' what's in our hearts
(D)Into thе blue (Into the blue)
(Chorus)
(Bm) This ain't (A)for еverybody, (G) toes hang-(D)in’ off the ledge
(Bm) Like we (A)got nothin' to lose (G)
(Bm) Ain't al-(A)ways Heaven, baby, (D) this livin' on the edge
(Em) You holdin' (F#m)me holdin' you (G) it's a Hell of a (D)view
A Hell of a view
