CAPO 2
It’s [C] hard to stay in[G]side
When the [C] bar calls your [F] name
[C] Pretty soon the [G] hotel room
Is gonna [Am] drive me in[F]sane
So [C] I’m gonna hit the [G] streets tonight
[C] Make my way toward the [F] neon lights
[C] Order drinks in a [G] downtown dive
‘Til [Am] I forget my [F] name
CHORUS
And if I [Am] make it out alive
I’ll [G] call, you know I [F] will
If [Am] I can just sur[G]vive
One more [F] night [G] in [C] Jacksonville
Well the [C] powder picks me [G] up
And the [C] pills they pull me [F] down
When the [C] evening ends they’re the [G] only friends
That [Am] seem to stick [F] around
I think I’ll [C] spend the rest of my [G] days
With [C] poison in my [F] veins
And keep [Am] living the lie that rock ‘n’ [G] roll’s alive
That [Am] things are gonna [F] change
CHORUS
And if I [Am] make it out alive
I’ll [G] call, you know I [F] will
If [Am] I can just sur[G]vive
One more [F] night [G] in [C] Jacksonville
I spent the [C] better part of my [G] early 20s
[C] Medicated and [F] always running
From the [C] man that my [G] mama
[Am] Wanted me to [F] be
See the [C] nights grew longer and [G] harder to remember
[C] Another show, another [F] bartender
Another [Am] face, another [G] place
That’ll [Am] fade away with [F] time
CHORUS
And if I [Am] make it out alive
I’ll [G] call, you know I [F] will
If [Am] I can just sur[G]vive
One more [F] night [G] in [C] Jacksonville
