F 
MY POCKETS ARE EMPTY THOUGH MY WIFE HAS SENT ME 
       Bb 
TO THE STORE FOR SOME CIGARETTES AND BREAD 
          F 
I STARTED WALKIN' THERE GOT AS FAR AS THE SQUARE 
         C 
THEN THE SMELL OF BEER WENT TO MY HEAD 
    F 
THE THING ABOUT BEER, IT CAN MAKE A MAN HEAR 
Bb 
VOICES FROM DAYS LONG SINCE PAST 
         F                       C 
AND WITH EVERY THIRD DRINK IT'LL MAKE YOU THINK 
          Bb                C 
THAT YOUR YOUTH WILL ALWAYS LAST 
  
          Bb 
NO MATTER WHICH WAY YOU MOVE 
           F                        C 
IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO PROVE TO YOURSELF 
                  Dm 
I COULD HAVE BEEN MORE 
      Bb              F     C               F 
I GOT ONE FOOT IN THE DOOR, I JUST WANT ONE MORE
 
 
  
I THOUGHT OF A TIME WHEN MY FUTURE WAS MINE 
IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAID 
I WAS HANDSOME AND STRONG AND WHEN I WALKED ALONG 
I STOOD ERECT AND LOOKED STRAIGHT AHEAD 
BUT THEN I LOST MY FIGHT, "GOING TO" TURNED TO "MIGHT" 
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE I LOST MY WILL 
AND NOW I'M SITTING HERE, MY LIFE FULL OF BEER 
AND I TRY TO PRETEND IT'S NOT REAL 
  
CHORUS 
 
SOLO (CHORD CHANGE TO G F=G Bb=C C=D)  
 
THESE DAYS I BARELY SURVIVE ON LOT NUMBER FIVE 
IN THE MOBILE ACRES ON THE EASTSIDE OF TOWN 
I SWORE THIS KIND OF LIFE I'D NEVER LEAD 
I GUESS I LET TOO MANY THINGS GET ME DOWN 
IF MY PAPPY COULD SEE WHAT THEY DONE TO ME 
I SWEAR HE'D MARCH DOWN THERE AND MAKE IT ALL RIGHT 
BUT HE'S LONG SINCE GONE AND I'M OLD ENOUGH NOW 
I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGHT MY OWN FIGHT 
  
CHORUS
