A		f#m	 d	   a
I live near hollywood out in the canyon
D		   a 	  d		   e
It’s a good life if you’re winnin’ it’s a killer if you’re not
A 	 f#m		  d		  a
My wife up and left last night, couldn’t stand another fight
D	   a 	 d		e
The studio boss fired me, my future’s been shot by

Chorus:
A	 f#m	 e
The three martini lunch
D 		a	  d	  e
Things will get better soon, I gotta hunch
A	 f#m	 e	 d		 a
The three martini lunch, wasting another afternoon
D	 e	   a	 (then riff as in intro)
Punching a hole in my life

A	   f#m	 d		 a
I came from the backwoods my prospects seemed real good
D 	a	  d		   e
For actor or director the future looked bright
A		f#m		   d		  a
But I ran in with a bad crowd and since then it’s just been down
D		a	d	 e
Alone in the canyon my only companion

Chorus

A		f#m	   d		  a
I know what they’re saying yeah I’ll never get back again
D		 a	   d 	  e
I pushed my luck this time and I’m on the skids
A		f#m	 d		 a
But I know what I’m doing I just can’t stop doing it
D		 a	 d	    e
Me and my companion, hell bent to ruin it

Chorus

Coda

D		 a
Wasting another afternoon
D	   e	    a  f#m  e
Punching a hole in my li............fe
D 		   a
Wasting another afternoon
D		e	  a
Punching a hole in my life
