This Side Of Sober by Jacob Bryant
This Side Of Sober
Standard Tuning
(When playing the C#m and B, play them as bar chords and alternate with letting the B and high E string ring
out. In the Verses and Outro walk up on the E string in-between B and A. The E walk up is the 6th string -
2nd fret to 4th fret before playing the A. Listen to the song to get accurate timing)
[Intro]
C#m B A (x2)
[Verse]
Well he said,
C#m B
Hey, Mister can you tell me how far
A
A walk it is to the nearest bar
C#m B A
So I can turn around and run the other way?
C#m B
Got a tendency to tie one on
A
If stupid was a shirt my sleeves would be long
C#m B A
I'm never too far from making my next mistake
[Chorus]
E A
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
B C#m B A
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
B C#m B A
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
B C#m B A
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
[Verse]
C#m B
And he said, Yeah, I'm a God fearing hard working man
A
But put the wrong thing in my hand
C#m B A
And I'm a back slider dyin' down a dead end road
C#m B
It all started with my first sip of beer
A
It's all a blur how it got from there to here
C#m B A
And twelve steps feels like a million more miles to go
[Chorus]
E A
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
B C#m B A
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
B C#m B A
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
B C#m B A
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
[Bridge]
G#m A
I paid for my coffee and stepped out into the night
G#m A D
And he said, if I can just make it home today will make twenty-nine.
[Chorus]
E A
'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
B C#m B A
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's gettin' colder
B C#m B A
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over.
B C#m B A
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
C#m B A C#m B A
This side of sober.
[Outro]
Well he said,
C#m B
Hey, Mister can you tell me how far
A
A walk it is to the nearest bar
C#m B A
So I can turn around and run the other way?
