A                                           E 
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep,  
                                    A 
Showed me how this town can shatter dreams. 
                                       E   
Another lesson 'bout a naive fool, who came to Babylon  
                                          A 
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet.  
 
Chorus 
        A                   E 
Oh its guitars, cadillacs, hillbilly music. 
                                   A   
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home. 
                           E  
Oh its guitars, cadillacs, and hillbilly music 
                                         A 
Its the only thing that keeps me hanging on.

Verse 2 
A                                             E 
There ain't no glamour in this tinsel land of lost and wasted lives 
                                        A 
And painful scars are all thats left of me. 
                                             E   
Oughta thank you girl, for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel 
                                          A 
I've found them out now I guess I'll just leave.
