(A) A stark naked (E) light bulb in a (D) room with no view
This (A) coffee tastes (E) bitter this (D) whiskey tastes new
I (A) lied when I (E) told you that my (D) dreams all came true
And it's a (A) helluva a (E) ride
Leaves me (A) empty (D) inside
And livin'(A) in (E) cheap motel (A) rooms
Another big city one more face with no name
And it's miles to the edge of the bed where I lay
The cracks in the ceiling spell out all my shame
Chorus
Bridge
Oh I (E) sit here and count every (D) mile that I've (A) crawled
And every (E) mistake that I've (D) made
While the (A) flowers (E) fade off the (D) wall
But how do I start to stop a wheel that's on fire
When I can't even tell from the words of a liar
I'm tryin' to come down but I keep gettin' higher
Chorus x 2
