This is one of my all time favorite songs by the Jayhawks and is definitely

one of the better songs on "Sound of Lies". My guitar teacher helped me

figure it out, so I can't take all the credit.

Intro (play twice):

e----9-----------9------------10--------------------------------------------

B----10----10---10-----10-----12------12----12s14---12--10-------------------

G----9-- 9-------9--9---------11--11------------------------11--------------

Verse:

A

Trouble

C#

that's what we had

D*

And everything that goes around

Dm* (Dm lick) A Dm lick (while in Dm bar chord)

Comes around in a bittersweet lament

C#m G e--------5-7-8-7-5

Well my heart's already broken down

E

Looking for a sweeter sound

E

Looking for a brighter day

A C#

I'm face down on the pavement

D* Dm* (Dm lick) A

Step aside, see the light, close your eyes and let us live our lives

C#m G

As they rally around the sinking ship

E

Looking for a better way

E A A/G# F#m A/E

It was just the blind leading the blind oooooo yeaaaaah

D D/C# Bm D/A

I got my feet back on the ground

Chorus:

C#m Bm

It's better than being alone

C#m Bm E

It's better than being alone

A

Funny

C#

We tried it all

D*

Just standing on the brink

Dm (Dm lick) A

Looking down, down, down

A C#m G

There's a little bit of truth in every lie

E

You were so above us all

E A A/G# F#m A/E

It was just the blind leading the blind oooo yaaaah

D D/C# Bm D/A

I got my feet back on the ground

Chorus:

C#m Bm

It's better than being alone

C#m Bm

It's better than being alone

Bridge:

Bm D

We were stranded on the vine

A

Destitute and shaken

F#m

Looking for a sign

Bm D

Left hung out to dry

A

Our backs against the wall

F#m D E

Stoned out of our, minds
