VERSE
G                              Dm           Am
You’re the life of the party, everybody’s host
           C                      G
Still you need somewhere you can hide
Dm                                   Am
All your good-time friends and your fair-weather has-beens
C                                     G
Lord knows….they’re just along for the ride
E7                               Am
You think you’re a survivor, but boy you better think twice
G                Dm          D
No one rides for nothing, so step up and pay the price

Ain’t it high time      you turned yourself around
             F  C    G              Am

So many here who love you still you just can’t tell

C                                         G
The real ones from those that drop your name

Dm                                           Am
All the while behind your back they rip the flesh right from
your bones

you should know by now we’re all fair game

You been chasing each dream with whiskey  From here to Tokyo

Using up all your real friends  No places left to go
