Verse 1

[E]Lately things have been a little [B7]complicated
[B7]Quality of life has got me [E]down

[B7]And the boys and me still working on the [E]sound

Verse 2

[E]A little happiness, a little love was all I [B7]wanted
[B7]Sure as Hell thought I'd found it but I was [E]wrong

But it's [E]her I have to [B7]thank for all my [E]songs

Chorus

[E]So every day I'm [A]smoking my brain hazy
[E]All I can do to keep from going crazy
[E]But the paranoia is slowly creeping [B7]in
[B7]I keep [A]drinking myself silly
[A]Only [E]way for this hillbilly
[E]And I thank God for [B7]this here life of [E]sin

Bridge

[B7]Every morning when I rise I look in the mirror and despise
[E]the sight of everything and all that I've [A]become
[B7]The level of my medicating some might find intimidating
[B7]But that's alright 'cause it don't bother me none

[E]Lately things have been a little [B7]complicated
[B7]Quality of life has got me [E]down
[E]Sex is cheap and talk is [B7]overrated
