This is one of my all time favorite songs by the Jayhawks and is definitely
one of the better songs on "Sound of Lies". My guitar teacher helped me
figure it out, so I can't take all the credit.

Verse:
ATrouble
that's what wC#e had
And everD*ything that goes around
Dm* (Dm lick) A Dm lick (while in Dm bar chord)
Comes around in a bittersweet lament
C#m G e--------5-7-8-7-5
Well my heart's already broken down
ELooking for a sweeter sound
ELooking for a brighter day
I'm facAe down on the pavement C#
D* Dm* (Dm lick) A
Step aside, see the light, close your eyes and let us live our lives
As they raC#mlly around the sinking ship G
ELooking for a better way
EIt was just the blind leading the blind A ooA/G#oooo yF#meaaaaahA/E
D I got my D/C#feet back on the grouBmnd D/A
Chorus:
C#mIt's better than being aloneBm
C#mIt's better than being aloneBm E
AFunny
We tried it allC#
Just standing on the briD*nk
Dm (Dm lick) A
Looking down, down, down
AThere's a liC#mttle bit of truth in every lieG
EYou were so above us all
EIt was just the blind leading the blind A A/G#oooo yaaF#maah A/E
DI got my feD/C#et back on the groBmund D/A
Chorus:
C#mIt's better than being aBmlone
C#mIt's better than being Bm alone
Bridge:
BmWe were stranded on the vineD
Destitute and shakAen

BmLeft hung out to drDy
Our backs against the wall A
Stoned out of our, minF#mds D E
