E      G#      C#   A  G   E


[Verse]
E       G#      C#            A          G             E
My baby told me you gotta get better if you ever wanna win

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
and I know that she’s not getting any better man she just sin

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I still love her but I know I was once there wearing them shoes

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I’m still hurting ‘cause the woman I love’s giving me the blues


[Verse]

E            G#          C#                       A       G
sitting here sober but I wonder what shape she’ll find me in

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I need her under my skin like a junkie needs heroin

E       G#      C#            A          G             E

and I’m never going back to Snake n’ Jakes the amount of money I spent I could’ve
bought the place

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
not to mention that they know my face now it’s hell getting out the place


[Chorus]
E       G#      C#            A          G             E
so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun

[Verse]
E       G#      C#            A          G             E
belly up in an ambulance I spent Sunday making doctor friends

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I could’ve used a pair of depends I hope that made you laugh ‘cause you know I’m a gentlemen

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
heaven found me living didn’t find me dead got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
E       G#      C#            A          G             E
but it still couldn’t save me from lying in bed staring at your clothes in the closet
while I was out of my head


[Chorus]

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
so I’m walking the streets tonight I’m catching some fireflies

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
some would say that I’m living a lie but no more today no more tonight

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
you could say that I’m under the gun nine million miles away from the sun

E       G#      C#            A          G             E
I’ve hesitated much too long but I’m still having fun hope you’re having fun


[Outro]

E     G                  E                 G               E       G
   E
