E                              A
I got a bottle in a paper bag, I can hear a little country rag

D                          G
Dollar down, dollar a day, yeah I got a little one-eyed play

E                        A
I opened up the windows, yeah I've been caught cold

                    G
Here, have a little no doze, can you hear me in the headphones?

              D             G
Road turkey's in the lobby, baby this is just a hobby

D                          C
Just a little thin report, yeah I've been caught short

                      G
But I can't get past "how do you do? "

        A            G
I don't know what to say to you
[Verse 2]
E                         A
Dancin' in the L.A. rain, midnight blue and tangerine

Here, let me hold a cigarette, baby I just got time to bet now

I know it's just casino talk but I hear you got a three foot walk

D                     G                           D              G
Flowin' cold and hot, bankin' on a long shot at a transcendental continental

D                         G
The initials on the door, baby are you keepin' score?

C                 E
I can't get past "how do you do?"

        A                   G
I don't know what to say to you

Phoenix stars in the saddle, tryin' to deal with ? cattle

D                                     G
Told proud george to call the gunner, scooter ruby'll put him under

Solo jack and gypsy jade, runnin' through the everglades

D                                       G
Tryin' to catch that high plain, get'em touch of fair exchange

        D                             G
Chinese kite, folding chairs, lift on where you take the stairs

      D                             G
Royal crown is on my head, you know I don't really care

I don't know what to say to you
