Intro:
C9 , G

G           D                C9   G
My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck
C9                                        G
   Your dumber than dogshit is what my Daddy said
C9                         G             C9
I was just thirteen when they showed me the door
G            D                 C9         G
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more
G            D                 C9         G
My first wife told me, you need to get a life
C9                                G
My third wife told me to get another wife
C9                             G                C9
I brought a bottle and the van's parked right outside the door
G            D                 C9         G
So come on darling, if you want to be number 4


C9                 G
Sometimes I feel like shit
C9                      D
Sometimes it ain't half of it
C9                     G               C9
Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep
G             D              C9     G
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep


G           D                C9   G
Ain't held down no job since 1984
C9                          G
I get by holding up convenience stores
C9           G             C9
I get by on liquor, guns and luck
G            D                 C9         G
But I'm scared to death which one might run out first
G            D             C9     G
I seen my past in everything that I despise
C9                                    G
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes
C9               G           C9
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears
C9      D             G         C9
Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears
