Cracks in a Photograph – Ryan Adams

Written by Ryan Adams

From the album “Suicide Handbook”
Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus),
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works
best.

Verse 1:
G
If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all
But I don't know anything anymore
I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
a* b* C
They were outside just poundin' on the door
Verse 2:
G
Ladies in the corner want to borrow your smokes
As if returning them would do any good
Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
a* b* C
That for everyone eventually comes
Chorus 1:
C D C
DaddB
I know I got a long way to go
C D C
DaddB
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D C
DaddB
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph
Verse 3:
G
I got a letter in my pocket and a pain in my tooth
And there's money in the bank up the street
I got a jacket that would fit you
a* b* C
And a couple of old guitars that I'd like for you to keep
Verse 4:
G
If you run into my sister tell her "Elvis is cool
but the Rolling Stones will sweep her away"
And money's always worth it on a Monday night
a* b* C
Cause on Friday she should get it for free
Chorus 2:
C D C
DaddB
I know I got a long way to go
C D C
DaddB
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D C
DaddB
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am
I'm slipping through the cracks . . .
Bridge:
Bm G Gsus4 G Gsus4
And everybody's dancing as the ship's going down
Bm D DaddC DaddB DaddC D DaddC DaddB DaddC D G G sus4
Why is it taking so long? (indecipherable………)
Verse 5:
G
If I could tell you something, I would tell you it all
But I don't know anything anymore
I let the dirt and the rain and the cold come in
a* b* C
And I don't know what for
Verse 6:
G
Ladies in the corner want to borrow my smokes
As if returning 'em would do any good
Procrastinating what I know I'm just gonna do
a* b* C
And everybody knows it too
Chorus 3:
C D C
DaddB
I know I got a long way to go
C D C
DaddB
I'm hanging on the side of a road
C D C
DaddB
I see the words but I don't know
D DaddB
I'm slipping through the cracks
Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
I'm slipping through the cracks . . . the cracks in a photograph
Please enjoy!
