 That's really it, there are only two riffs. The main riff is played for


 essentially the entire song, until the very end, when it's the outro w/ a


 lick I included at the bottom. Below are the lyrics. Enjoy!


 


 Verse: Main Riff


 Well my baby told me, You gotta get better if you ever wanna win


 And I know that, But she ain't getting any better man, she just sin


 I still love her, but I know I was once there wearin' them shoes


 I'm still hurtin, cuz the woman I love's givin me the blues


 


 Main Riff


 


 I'm sitting here sober, but I wonder what state she'll find me in


 I need her under my skin, like a junkie needs heroin


 And I'm never goin back to Snake & Jake's, amount of money I spent I coulda bought the place


 Not to mention that they know my face, now it's hell getting out the place cuz


 


 Chorus


 I'm walkin the streets tonight, I'm catching some fireflies


 Some would say that I'm livin a lie, no more today, no more tonight


 You could say that I'm under the gun, nine million miles away from the sun


 I've hesitated much too long, still having fun, hope you're havin fun


 


 Verse


 belly up in an ambulance I spent Sunday making doctor friends


 I could?ve used a pair of depends I hope that made you laugh ?cause you know I?m a gentlemen


 heaven found me living didn?t find me dead got a permanent ash mark on my forehead


 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


 


 Outro w/ lick


 I?m a peaceful man today ain?t got no more weekend wars to wage so give me one more shot babe
