In a photo daddy took in a humid day 
                  A 
In a town that's anyone's guess 
     E                 B 
Way out in western Kentucky

On a motorbike out to east L.A.

To find a white line

It's such a fine line

Between broken and lucky

It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down

So if you need me

                      A                        E    B 
Now it's April and I hate you and I'm heading home

C#m                        A 
The little notes that you left for me 
    E                 B 
In coat pockets and cabinetries

Are in a shoebox where we once talked 
E                 B 
Back when I felt free

It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down

So if you need me 
               B 
Know that I'm bleeding 
           C#m           B       A 
Somewhere alone in some coastal town
