Jamey Johnson - High Cost Of Living (no capo arrangement) Intro C | | | || Verse 1
CI was just a normal guy, life was just a nine to five With bills and pressure piled up to the skGy.
She never asked, she knew I'd been hangin' with my wilder friends
Looking for another way to flCy. And three days straight was no big feat
To get by on no food or sleep
And crFazy was becC/Eoming my new nDmorm. I'd pCass out on the bedroom floor And slGeep right through the calm before the stCorm.
Chorus
My lFife was just an old routine, GEvery day the same damn thing, I cCouldn't even tBbell I was alFive. I tell you, the hCigh cost of living, Ain't nGothin' like the cost of living highC.
Verse 2
That SCouthern Baptist parking lot was where I'd go to smoke my pot. Sit there in my pickup truck and pGray and staring at that giant cross Just reminded me that I was lost and it just never seemed to point the waCy.
As soon as Jesus turned his back I'd find my way across the tracks
F Lookin' just to sC/Ecore another dDmeal. With my bCack against that damn eight ball I Gdidn't have to think or talk Cor feel.
Chorus
My lFife was just an old routine. GEvery day the same damn thing, I cCouldn't even Bbtell I was alFive. I tell you, the Chigh cost of living, Ain't nGothin' like the cost of living hCigh.
Verse 3
MCy whole life went through my head laying in that motel bed Watchin' as the cops kicked in the dGoor.
I had a job and a piece of land and my sweet wife was my best friend
But I traded that for cocaine and a whCore. With my new found sobriety I've got the time to sit and think Of Fall the things I C/Ehad and threw awayDm. This prCison is much colder than that GOne that I was locked up in jCust yesterday.
Chorus
My lFife is just an old routine. GEveryday's the same damn thing, hell I cCan't even tBbell if I'm alFive. I tell you, the Chigh cost of living Ain't nGothin' like the cost of living hCigh.
I tell you, the high cost of living
Ain't nGothin' like the cost of living hCigh.
