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

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!

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

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.
