Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul

Em A Em A

Ain't a day goes by I don't burn a little bit of my soul

Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say

Cocaine eyes won't hide your face

E B C# A B Em A Em A

It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend

It's a long hard road when your friends start to leave you behind

It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind

Some might go for poison, some go for too much stuff

Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up

Have fun!

Shakey

When all is said and done, I'm the one

Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up

NOTE: What I mean by the above riff explanation is this: The first part

is strummed (trying to imitate up and down strums) then the 2 4 5... are

individual notes played on the D string. This is from the solo acoustic,

still unreleased version.
