was just a normal guy.
[Bb] Life was just a nine to five with bills and pressure piled up to the sky.
_ She never [G] asked.
She knew I'd been hanging with my wilder friends,.
looking for some other way to fly.
_ [C] And three days straight was no big feat to get by [Dm] on no food or [Am] sleep.
And crazy was becoming my new [Dm] norm.
_ [C] I'd pass out on the bedroom [G] floor and sleep right through the calm before [C] the storm.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] My life was just an old [G] routine.
Every day the same damn [C] thing.
I couldn't [Bb] even tell I [F] was alive.
I [C] tell you, the high cost of living [G] ain't nothing like the cost of [C] living high.
_ _ _ _ _ _ That Southern Baptist parking lot was where I'd go to smoke my pot.
and sit there in my [G] pickup truck and pray.

Staring at that giant cross just reminded [Dm] me that [G] I was lost.
and it just never seemed to point [C] the way.
_ [Am] _ [G] [C] As soon as Jesus turned his back, I'd find my way across the [F] tracks.
looking [C] just to score [Dm] another D.
_ [C] With my back against that damn eight [G] ball, I didn't have to think or [C] talk or feel.

My whole life went through my head, laying in that motel [F] bed,.
watching as the cops kicked [G] in the door.
_ I had a job and a piece of land.
My sweet wife was my best friend, but I traded that for [C] cocaine and a hole.
_ _ With my newfound sobriety, I've got the time to sit and [F] think.
of all the [C] things I have [Dm] and threw away.
_ [C] This prison is much colder [G] than that one that I was locked up [C] in just yesterday.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] [F] My life is just an old [G] routine.
Every day the [C] same damn thing.
Hell, I can't [Bb] even tell if [F] I'm alive.
I [C] tell you, the high cost of living [G] ain't nothing like the cost of [C] living high.
_ _ _ _ _ I tell you, the high cost of living [G] ain't nothing like the cost of [C] living high.
