Intro
Am G
He was warmin his hands with a hot coffee cup
Am G Am G
Pourin in whiskey as I walked up he never blinked an eye
F Am G
He just asked for a light I noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes
Am G
So I pulled out a twenty said go buy some food
Am G F
But he just stared at his cup like I wasn't there
C G
Then he looked at me said son that's nice
C G
But there's some things money can't buy
Chorus
C G
I want my life back I want that house that I called home
Am G F G
I want that job I worked for 22 years before I gotlaidoff
F C G
I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
G F G Am
And that man I used to be I want my life back 
Am G
I walked through the door and sat down at the bar
Am G Am G
Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head
F Am G
Every word that old man said
Am G
I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart
Am G F
But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart
C G
I was to headstrong to admit when I was wrong
C G
It's been 6 months since she moved out
Guess my pride ain't helping me now

And that man I used to be I want my life back
