_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I scored some speed in San Bernardino _ So me and baby could get a little bum _ _
_ Now she's in that [Am] motel room Puttin' [G] on a show for some chump
[Dm] Yeah, well baby's gotta make a living And I don't mind waitin' out in the car
[A] Cause I [Am] got some nine millimeter muscle _ In case things go too far
[E] You know I try to take it easy, [B] man And [D] just _ go with the flow _ _
[Em] _ But sometimes things can get a little [Dm] bit _ _ _ _ Out of [Am] control
[Em] Well _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Am]
my old man worked his whole life In the Kaiser Steel slag _ pit
And I worked there for a while back when I was a kid
But I [Am] got tired of all that shit _
[A] But that was years ago, man _ _ [D] Before they tore that Montana [D] plant down
[Am] And my old man smoked himself _ Into a six foot hole in the ground _
[Em] And I got the same bad habit And [A] it'll probably take its toll _ _
[E] _ _ _ [Em] Sometimes it's the only thing that [D] keeps me From [D] _ going out of [A] love for real
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well my ex-wife's working evenings _ And it's just the minimum wage
And she's cleaning up other people's houses _ Every day just like some slave _
[Dm] She's living with her kids in a mobile home Just off the [D] 63rd way _
[Am] Some nights I go to see her And sometimes she lets me stay _
[E] Since _ she found Jesus [Dm] I was tryin' to save my soul _
[E] Yeah, every now and then she still [Dm] likes to get _ A little out [Am] of control _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I work a little construction But I never got along with my boss
So I do a little import-export Making enough just to [Am] cover my costs
[Dm] And I'm losing [Am] my hair [D] and I'm losing my teeth But I'm trying to keep my grit
And _ [A] live to see one more day Without making any stupid slaves
You [Em] know I could have played the game, man [Dm] And just done what I was told
But [E] _ I guess I was born just a [Dm] little baby _ _ _ _ [Am] Out of cover on the road
[A] And _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [A] _ _ baby gets done in there I'm gonna take a four little ride
[Em] _
_ Cruise up into the mountains Park the car and [Am] get a little high _
[D] _ Baby needs to look at the shooting stars And make wishes as they fly [E] by
_ [A] I like looking down at the city From way up there [Am] in the sky
And [Em] then I pull baby close to me [Dm] When it starts getting cold
_ [Em] _ Close my eyes for a little while [Dm] And let the world _ _ _ spin [Em] out of control _ _ _ _
