Half Empty Kinda Guy

	  		
Intro: G D/F# Em C 

Verse 
G 
Strike another match 
D/F# 
Babe, let?s watch it burn 
Em 
They say the simple truth 
C 
Is the hardest to learn 
G 
Trouble has been beside me 
D/F# 
At each and every turn 
Em 
I guess it?s something here inside me 
C 
Fairly hard to discern 
G 
I don?t know who loves me 
D/F# 
I only know who don?t 
Em 
I don?t know who will 
C 
I sure as hell know who won?t 
G 
I can?t see the rainbow 
D/F# 
I only see the rain 
Em 
It's hard to see the beauty 
C 
Around so much pain 

C                  D 
I can?t see the heavens 
D                   Em 
I can only see the sky 
C             D          G 
I?m a half empty kinda guy
 

Verse 
G 
Everything I wanted 
D/F# 
Always slowly slipped away 
      Em 
Right when I need it most 
      C 
It?s always been this way 
G 
I still feel like a clown 
         D/F# 
Standing here with the painted tears 
Em 
I finally put that bottle down 
C 
After all these years 
G 
So now I'm finally clean 
           D/F# 
But I?m as dirty as I?ve been 
Em 
Where it all went wrong 
           C 
I couldn?t tell you how or when 
G 
So I?ll just keep on keeping on 
D/F# 
Hope there'll come a day 
       Em 
These shackles will be gone 
         C 
And I?ll be on my way 

C 
There ain?t no silver lining 
D                      Em 
I?ve searched low and high 
C                       D       G 
Yeah I?m a half empty kinda guy
 

Bridge 
D           Em 
I cannot recall 
C                           G 
The last time I heard good news 
D               Em 
I just ramble around 
C                              G 
Singing these strange sort of blues 
Am                  Em 
A gypsy read my cards to me 
C                   G 
And she let out a yell 
C                        Em 
There was a hangman and a tower 
D 
and a high priestess jezebel 
C                    Em 
Then death oh death??why oh why 
C                   D             G 
I?m a half empty kinda guy 

Verse 
G 
Lately something strange 
D/F# 
Has been happening to me 
        Em 
I wake nightly from slumber 
C 
Filled with fear and anxiety 
G 
Then I wrestle round for hours 
D/F# 
With the voices in my head 
Em 
Telling me what I should have done 
C 
And everything I should have said 

C           D 
If I wasn?t laughing? 
D                      Em 
You could bet that I would cry 
C                      D          G 
Yeah I?m a half empty kinda guy
