Lou Reed - Bottoming out

^AI'm cruising fast on a motorcycle down this win^F#mding country road And I p^Bmass the gravel on the foot of the hill Where la^Est week I fell off Ther^Ae's still some oil by the old elm tree And a d^F#mead squirrel that I hit But if I ha^Bmdn't left I would have struck you dead So I to^Eok a ride instead

Bottoming o^Aut, bottoming ^F#mout Bottoming o^Bmut, bottoming o^Eut

^AMy doctor says, she hopes I know How lu^F#mcky I can be Af^Bmter all, it wasn't my blood Mixed in the di^Ert that night But this vi^Aolent rage that's turned inward Can n^F#mot be held by a drink And ^Bmwe must really examine this and I say ^E"I need another drink."

I'm tea^Aring down Route 80 east The s^F#mun's on my right side I'm dr^Bmunk, but my vision's good And I th^Eink of my child bride And o^An the left in shadows, I see Some^F#mthing that makes me laugh I a^Bmim that bike at the fat pothole ^EBeyond that underpass
