This is one of my all time favorite songs by the Jayhawks and is definitely
one of the better songs on “Sound of Lies”. My guitar teacher helped me
figure it out, so I can’t take all the credit.

Intro (play twice):

e—-9———–9————10——————————————–
B—-10—-10—10—–10—–12——12—-12s14—12–10——————-
G—-9– 9——-9–9———11–11————————11————–
D—————————————————————————

E—————————————————————————

Verse:

Trouble
that’s what we had
D
And everything that goes around
Dm (Dm lick) A Dm lick (while in Dm bar chord)
Comes around in a bittersweet lament

C#m G e——–5-7-8-7-5

Well my heart’s already broken down

Looking for a sweeter sound
Looking for a brighter day

I’m face down on the pavement
D Dm (Dm lick) A
Step aside, see the light, close your eyes and let us live our lives
As they rally around the sinking ship
Looking for a better way
It was just the blind leading the blind oo[A/G#]oooo yeaaaaah[A/E]

I got my [D/C#]feet back on the ground[D/A]

Chorus:

It’s better than being alone
It’s better than being alone

Funny
We tried it all
D
Just standing on the brink
Dm (Dm lick) A
Looking down, down, down

There’s a little bit of truth in every lie
You were so above us all
It was just the blind leading the blind [A/G#]oooo yaaaah[A/E]
I got my fe[D/C#]et back on the ground[D/A]

Chorus:

It’s better than being alone
It’s better than being alone

Bridge:

We were stranded on the vine
Destitute and shaken
Looking for a sign
Left hung out to dry

Our backs against the wall
Stoned out of our, minds
