Tom: D

Intro: Em  A  Em  A (w/RIFF each time)

Em                          A                             Em     A
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
G                    A             G                            A
Scored some friends along the way, did what I did, said what I had to say
        G                    A
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
      C               D             Em  A   Em  A (w/RIFF each time)
When all is said and done, I'm the one

It's a long hard road when you're tryin' to find peace of mind
It's a long hard road when your friends start dropping like flies
Some might go for poison, some go for too much love
Some just go to sleep at night and forget to wake up

Em  A   4 TIMES (w/RIFF)

CHORUS (barre chords):
E      B    C#m                 A
Cocaine eyes won't hide your face
E          B      C#m              A    B                 Em   A   Em   A
It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again, my old friend

REPEAT FIRST VERSE (add extra "I'm the one" at the end)
CHORUS

          Em  A
Cocaine eyes
                 Em  A

Won't hide your face
