[A] I'm cruising fast on a motorcycle [F#] down this winding country road.
[Bm] And I passed the gravel at the foot of the hill [E] where last week I fell off.
[A] There's still some oil by the old elm tree [F#m] and a dead squirrel that I hit.
But [Bm] if I hadn't left I would have struck you dead so [E] I took a right instead.
[A] Bottoming out, [F#m] bottoming out, [Bm] bottoming out, [E] bottoming out.
[A] My doctor says she hopes I know [F#m] how lucky I can be.
[Bm] After all it wasn't my blood mixed [E] in the dirt that night.
[A] But this violent rage that turns in work [F#] cannot be held by drink.
[Bm] And we must really examine this and I [E] say I need another drink.
[A] Bottoming out, [F#m] bottoming out, [Bm] bottoming out, [A] bottoming [E] out.
I'm
[A] tearing down Route 80.
[F#m] The sun's on my right side.
[Bm] I'm drunk but my vision's good [E] and I think of my child bride.
[A] And on the left in shadows I see [F#] something that makes me [F#m] laugh.
[Bm] I aim that pipe at that sad tron [E] pole beyond that underpass.
[A] Bottoming out, [F#] bottoming out, bottoming [Bm] out, [E] bottoming out.
[A] Bottoming out, [F#] bottoming out, [Bm] bottoming out, [G] bottoming [E] out.
