Cracks in a Photograph – Ryan Adams
Written by Ryan Adams

From the album “Suicide Handbook”
Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus),
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works
best.

a* b* C
They were outside just poundin' on the door

G Ladies in the corner want to borrow your smokes
As if returning them would do any good

a* b* C
That for everyone eventually comes

I'm slipping through the cracks
I'm slipping through the cAmracks . . . the cracks in a phGotographGsus4 G Gsus4 G
Verse 3:
G I got a letter in my pocket and a pain in my tooth
And there's money in the bank up the street

a* b* C
And a couple of old guitars that I'd like for you to keep
Verse 4:
G If you run into my sister tell her "Elvis is cool

And money's always worth it on a Monday night
