(Capo on 1)
Intro.:  (E) x 4 bars
She (E)hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her husband, tired of the same old list of things to (A)do
So when the to-dos have all been (E)done, she sits (B7)down at the kitchen table
And rolls herself a (E)fat one
(E)Smoke so sweet fills the air
She maybe ought to crack a window, but all she can do is stare at the (A)paint
That's been peeling off the (E)walls
A (B7)couple tokes and her troubles don't seem all that (E)tall
(Chorus)
You know (A)life will let you down, love will leave you (E)lonely
(B7)Sometimes the only way to get (A)by (B7) is to get (E)high
She (E)laughs out loud at who she used to be
A girl who'd a looked down on a woman smoking weed in her (A) kitchen
Sometimes she misses them younger (E)days
Seeing the (B7)world through rose colored glasses instead of this purple (E)haze
(Chorus)
You know (A)life will let you down, love will leave you (E)lonely
(B7)Sometimes the only way to get (A)by (B7) is to get high
Solo:  (E) x 8 bars
So she (E)tucks her kids in at night
Kisses her husband turns off the light and talks to (A)God
Says, Lord help me accept what I can't (E)change
But (B7)'til I learn to do that, thanks for the Mary (E)Jane
(Chorus)
You know (A)life will let you down, love will leave you (E)lonely
(B7)Sometimes the only way to get (A)by (B7) is to get (E)high
(Tag)
Yeah, (B7)sometimes the only way to get (A)by (B7) is to get (E)high
