E F#
Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
A E
That I had let slip away
E F#
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
A E
And burdens me every new day
A F#
Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
A B
And try to figure out how to do without you

Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning

Who's going to be the one to tell me everything's alright

Well, Goodnight, Good Guy

*On the video here, Ross adds a pinch harmonic. On the record it’s just a normal E tonic.

**This is the ending phrase from the record, if you want to play it
like the video just play the B on the either the 4th fret of the
G-string or the 9th fret of the D-string which ever feels more comfortable
(don’t forget to add extreme vibrato, this is Ross Childress’ trademark).
