[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
C#m                             
■   Sometimes I don't know where
           F#               
This dirty road is taking me
C#m                                   G#m
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
  B       C#m           
I guess I keep agamblin'
        F#                        
Lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
C#m                   G#m            C#m       
It's easier than just waitin' around ■   to die
C#m                        
One time friends I had a ma
             F#m
I even had a pa 
C#m                                         G#m  
■   He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
         C#m                   
She told him to take care of me
G#m                     
Headed down to tennessee
C#m7        G#m                         C#m
It's easier than just waitin' around to die
  C#m                           
I came of age and I found a girl
F#m                
In a tuscaloosa bar
    C#7        C#m                   G#m
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
C#m                                      
I tried to kill the pain bought some wine
    C#m           
And hopped a train
       G#m                                C#m
Seemed easier than just waitin' around to die
C#m                  
A friend said he knew
           F#            
Where some easy money was
C#m                                G#m
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
C#m                        
The posse caught up with me
    C#sus4                  
And drug me back to muskogee
     C#m                      G#m               C#m
It's two long years I've been waitin' around to die


[Chorus]
C#m                  
Now I'm out of prison
  G#m7                   
I got me a friend at last
C#m                                 G#m
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
    C#m          
His name's codine
         C#m                   
He's the nicest thing I've seen
G#m                              B C#m        
Together we're gonna wait around ■ ■   and die
G#m                                      C#m
Together we're gonna wait around and die ■
