Chill-Axin'
Written by Toby Keith & Scotty Emerick
Recorded by Toby Keith
(Capo on 2)
Intro.:  |(D) / (D/B)(D/A)| x 4
(D)High tide's up and the water's coming in on the shore (Em)
Usually (G)wait until vacation, but I (A)sure can't take this city anymore (D) (Em) (A)
(D)Work's been hell and that rush hour traffic's never been a breeze (Em)
Ain't no (G)hustle where I'm goin', just a (A)warm trade wind a blowin' through the trees (D)
(Chorus)
I don't need no (G)sympathy, (A) that won't bring satis-(D)faction
Just need to charge my (G)battery, (A) had a bad reac-(Bm)tion
Gonna (Em)do my best to (A)decompress,--- chill-(D)axin'
I could (D)fire up my ol' motorcycle and head up to the country where it's green (Em)
Maybe (G)head up to Montana, but there's (A)something about the ocean that's se-(D)rene (Em) (A)
(D)Fifteen hundred miles, still got seven hundred left to do (Em)
But it (G)don't seem like forever, when you (A)know that you're outrunnin' the blues (D)
(Chorus)
I don't need no (G)sympathy, (A) that won't bring satis-(D)faction
Just need to charge my (G)battery, (A) had a bad reac-(Bm)tion
Gonna (Em)do my best to (A)decompress, --- chill-(D)axin'
(Bridge)
There's a (Am)worm in the bottle and Wild (G) Shot on the ta-(D)ble
With some (Am)salt and lime and some mez-(G)-cal maybe I'll be (D)able
To (Em)find my paradise, put this (A)broken world on ice, --- chill-(D)axin'
(Tag)
(D)High tide's up and the water's comin' in on the shore (Em)
I usually (G)wait until vacation, but I just (A) can't take this city anymore (D) -----
