[Verse 1]
  Am
I walked to the corner, went in the 
store
  Am/G
Familiar the smell, bourbon and 
quarts
  D9/F#
Cashier said, nice to see you again
  F
I smiled, I grabbed my shit and left
  Am
Hours later, numb in the face
  Am/G
I got to her house, a dodgy place
     D9/F#
She walked bent over, a crippled 
back
  F
Years of abuse, wrong side of the 
tracks
     Am
She offered me a vodka cran
  Am/G
Asked me if I had a plan
  D9/F#                         F
Hesitant to say what I was thinking,
 god damn


[Chorus]
     Am           G
I’m treading the same rake
    D
I’m way above the stakes
    Am        G
A bullet, a bullet

   D                  D
Is on it’s way to me, oh
  Am        G
A bullet, A bullet
     D
It’s life or death for me
          Am    G    D   D
I’m on my own
           Am   G    D
And I’m so alone

[Verse 2]
    Am
She sat in the corner, smoked on the
 floor
    Am/G
I asked her what lead to becoming a 
whore
    D9/F#
“Careers were never my closest 
friend
    F
And cash is king, my dividend
    Am
To pick my brain, and watch me pall”
    Am/G
A cloud of smoke, numbed her fall
    D9/F#                        
I watched her as she pierced into 
         F
her veins
    Am
She said she was stuck, worst of the
 beds
    Am/G
The ugliest place, that she ever had
 been
    D9/F#
Balmoral Hotel, the best of the inns
    F
Supplies are steady, you can begin
      Am
Your quest to freedom, calm your 
skin
 Am/G
Fear diminish, start again
     D9/F#                         
I’ve always kinda wondered what 
  F
that meant


[Chorus]
    Am           G
I’m treading the same rake
    D
I’m way above the stakes
  Am        G
A bullet, a bullet
   D                  D
Is on it’s way to me, oh
  Am        G
A bullet, A bullet
     D
It’s life or death for me
          Am    G    D   D
I’m on my own
           Am   G    D
And I’m so alone

[Chorus]
    Am           G
I’m treading the same rake
    D
I’m way above the stakes
  Am        G
A bullet, a bullet
   D                  D
Is on it’s way to me, oh
  Am        G
A bullet, A bullet
     D
It’s life or death for me

I’m on my own
           Am   G    D
And I’m so alone
