Jamey Johnson – Playing The Part (Guitar)

A                                         E
Taking a dip, on the Sunset Strip, in the mornin'.  Ain't nothin' like the

                              A
smell of tofu and high dollar wine

                                              D
Except maybe all them cars lockin' down the I-5.

      A                                           E                     A
But I find it amazin', these rats I been chasin', helpin' me remember a time.

         D                            A                          E
When the only LA I knew was the lower Alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah,

                          A
was wishing on a southern star.

         D                                                             A
Now it's so complicated. I really hated.  Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?

                                                     E
Taking depression pills, in the Hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm

          A
playin' a part.

                                                        E
All this grippin' and grinning.  Losin' and winnin'.  And runnin'.

                                             A
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt.

                                                         D
What the heck was thinkin'.  Drinkin' like I'd never get caught.

      A                                                   E
These high dollar women.  And the fame and the fortune.  Ain't worth the

         A
ticket I bought.

         D                             A                     E
When the only LA I knew was the lower Alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah,

                           A               D
was wishing on a southern star.  Now it's so complicated. I really hated.

                             A
Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?  Taking depression pills, in the Hollywood

            E                         A
hills, and actin' like I'm playin' a part.

                                                    E
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm
