[D]I was a stumble bummin' down the [G]neon Music City sidewalks
With the Ju[A]nkie and the Juicehead who had pr[G]oblems of their own
[D]Stuck with luck it kept me standin' just a s[G]tep away from starvin'
And the ta[A]lent that I swore I'd show be[G]fore I'd go b[D]ack home
Ninety d[G]ays I looked the army makin' neither love nor money
And my o[D]nly set of clothes was gettin' cl[Em]oser to the b[A]one
And t[D]he Junkie placed an order with the Pr[G]ophet on the corner
And he t[A]old him of the s[Em]oul that h[A]e'd been se[G]llin' for a s[D]ong
He said my fu[G]ture was my fortune but I l[D]et it slip away
Slowly sm[A]okin' myself broke on eighty cig[D]arettes a day
Findin' [G]out that crime ain't all there [D]is that doesn't pay
And wr[G]itin' words that no one's gonna see but did y[A]ou said it who s[G]aid it
I can read my fortune in the bo[D]ttom of a glass
And I c[A]an see it's time for me to ma[D]ke my last request
Won't you f[G]ill my grave with whiskey when I'm laid a[D]way to rest
So the boys c[A]an say I drank myself to de[D]ad
Well I dr[A]ank the wh[D]ole thing over puttin' one and t[G]wo together
And it ad[A]ded up to m[G]ore of what [A]I didn't w[G]ant to be
I a[D]in't blamin' Music City but it's o[G]nly gonna see me
One more d[A]ay and the wake up and the time it ta[G]kes to le[D]ave
Cause I [G]got a dirty picture of what could have been my future
In a Pr[D]ophet pushin' day dreams on a corner [Em]for a fee
[A]And the wino l[D]ookin' lonely at a bottle ge[G]ttin' empty
And a hu[A]ngry lookin' junkie huntin' t[G]ea in sympathy[D]
And I bet th[G]at junkie's laughin' after the life he th[D]rew away
Slowly smokin' h[A]imself broke on eighty ci[D]garettes a day
Pleadin' d[G]own the Prophet to a price t[D]hat he can pay
And writin' [G]words that no one's gonna see [A]but did you said it who said it
[G]Every empty bottle [Em]is my private cry[D]stal ball
And starin' i[A]nto the future findin' nothin' th[D]ere at all
Which is what I[G]'ll miss tomorrow when the ne[D]on shadows fall
On the Junkie a[A]nd the Juicehead minus me
With the Ju[A]nkie and the Juicehead who had pr[G]oblems of their own
[D]Stuck with luck it kept me standin' just a s[G]tep away from starvin'
And the ta[A]lent that I swore I'd show be[G]fore I'd go b[D]ack home
