[Verse 1]
     C
From goin' too far
     G
From goin' too fast
Am
Spinnin' my wheels
Headin' downhill, just like 
   F
a heart attack
        C
There's nothin' left to smoke
      G
Ain't nothin' left to drink
Am
I ain't ever been much for 
swimmin' in here
      F
But I sure know how to sink

[Chorus]
                     G
There's gasoline all over 
this ground
F                      G
  I strike a match and drop 
  it down
F        G                 
  I need someone to hold me 
      Am
  back-ack
F        G               
  I need someone to hold 
        C
  me back

From feeling like Hell

To fallin' like rain

Bettin' it all on black and

And gettin' hit by a train
