[Intro]
G D C C/B D D
Took the Gnight shift
Another nickel on the dime
DTry to play it straight, make it different this time
CStill waiting to C/Bmeet the next ex-DwifeD  
It's either Gwatching these gauges for Monsanto
Or a Dbar back job for the casino
CThe army won't want me after C/Bwhat this body's Dbeen through
Would you take me Cback, North CaroGlina
Would you take me Dback, ArkanCsas
CBlissful days still there to reGmember
MethamDphetamine was the final Cstraw
[Break] (I just play the intro again here)
I Ghad a killer job in a backup band
DPlaying guitar in Branson
CTwo shows a night brought the C/Bmoney to chase down DsinD  
Now it's Ganother weekend lonely at home
DLate night TV evangelist drone
CI'm healthy now but I C/Breally don't know if I'll Dever be free
Would you take me Cback, North CaroGlina
Would you take me Dback, ArkanCsas
CBlissful days still there to reGmember
MethamDphetamine was the final Cstraw
