American Aquarium - One day at a time

^CWide eyed and 21 ^AmAnother shot of Jamison ^GTo calm my nerves before this nightly ^Fmasquerade ^CWhat people see as nonchalant A^Am complex conditioned response ^GA chemical reaction ^FBrown liquor and self doubt ^CSo I can stand up on this stage ^AmLike a guilty child avoiding blame ^GI kick I scream I’d curse the name Of the ^Fgirls that walked away ^CYou see the man left holding the pen ^AmControls how every story ends ^GThe truth becomes a martyr for the ^Fsake of the song

^GYeah I’m in a good ^Cplace I’m ^Gwalking that ^Fstraight line I’m ^Amgetting along ^Grighting these wrongs ^FOne da^Gy at a ^Ctime

^CFor years the drinks were just a crutch ^AmUntil the drinks were just too much ^GI guess it comes with the job ^FHail hail rock and roll ^CYou see songs fulfill a human need ^AmTo sit back and watch another man bleed ^GSo for a moment we don’t have ^Fto feel sorry for ourselves ^CThis imaginary confidence ^AmBecame first line of defense ^GIf you don’t let them in boy^F They’ll never let you down ^CBut she broke through And took control ^AmMy sweetheart of the rodeo ^GAnd for the first time I found something ^FI couldn’t afford to lose

^GYeah I’m in a good ^Cplace I’m ^Gwalking that ^Fstraight line I’m ^Amgetting along ^Grighting these wrongs ^FOne da^Gy at a ^Ctime

^CEvery now and then I miss ^AmThe way that high ball glass would kiss ^GMy lips like a long lost love^F Welcoming me home ^CBut I don’t miss the highs and lows ^AmThe back and forth the ebenflow ^GOf letting down the people ^FThat are standing up for me

^GYeah I’m in a good ^Cplace I’m ^Gwalking that ^Fstraight line I’m ^Amgetting along ^Grighting these wrongs ^FOne da^Gy at a ^Ctime Yeah I’m just ^Amgetting along ^Grighting these wrongs ^Fone ^Gday ^Cat a time
