[Verse]
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 be 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
