G D Em C
G D
I got drunk by myself last night
Em C
they say it's no way to make things right
G D G
I just didn't have anything better to do.
G D
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
Em C
I watched a show about crime and drugs,
G D G
punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through.
G D
I don't care that I can't sleep
Em C
I'd just as soon stay up all week
G D G
I might get some things done while others dream.
G D
The heater broke and the room got cold
Em C
and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
G D G
the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
Bm C
If everyone was together
G D
I guess no one would be alone
G D G
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
Bm C
Somewhere in the fields of heather 
G D
The proud souls laugh and love together
G D G
somewhere between passion and losing friends
G D
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
Em C
my head was next to the telephone
G D G
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades.
G D
The thing that seems always true
Em C
when I'm hung over the sky is blue.
G D G
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
G D
I believe in ghosts and democracy
Em C
and that each man should leave his legacy
G D G
be that mans work great or be it small.
G D
I don't believe in everything like
Em C
the designated hitter or that diamond rings
G D G
will make love last forever for one and all.
Chorus
