Jamey Johnson – Playing The Part (Ukulele)

C                                         G
Taking a dip, on the sunset strip, in the mornin'.  Ain't nothin like the 

                               C
smell of tofue and high dollar wine

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

      C                                         G                    C
But I find it amazin, these rats I been chasin, helpin me remember a time.

         F                             C                          G
When the only L A I knew was the lower alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah, 

                          C
was wishing on a southern star.

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

                                                     G
Taking depression pills, in the hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm 

          C
playin' a part.

                                                     G
All this grippin and grinning.  Losin and winnin.  And runnin.

                                             C
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphault.

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

      C                                                   G
These high dollar women.  And the fame and the fortune.  Ain't worth the 

         C
ticket I bought.
