Em                           A
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn
                    Em A
a little bit of my soul
Em                           A
Ain't a day goes by I don't burn
                    Em A
a little bit of my soul
G                     A                  G
Scored some friends along the way, did what I did,
             A
said what I had to say
         G                    A
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
     C                D            Em A Em A
When all is said and done, I'm the one

It's a long hard road when your friends
Start to leave you behind
It's a long hard road when you try
To find peace of mind
Some might go for poison
And some go for too much stuff
Some just go to sleep at night
And forget to wake up

Chorus:
E        B    C#m             A
Cocaine eyes won't hide your face
E            B    C#m              A     B
It's no surprise, you'll lose the race again,
          Em A Em A
my old friend

Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scorched some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and done
I'm the one
I'm the one, yeah

Chorus:
Cocaine eyes
It won't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lost the race once again
My old friend

         Em A
Cocaine eyes
                 Em A
Won't hide your face
         Em A
Cocaine eyes
                 Em A
Won't hide your face
         Em
Cocaine eyes
