A5               E5 
I got drunk by myself last night 
     F#5                D5 
they say it's no way to make things right 
A5                  D5                  E5   Fill 
I just didn't have anything better to do. 
A5                         E5                  
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and 
  F#5                  D5  
I watched a show about crime and drugs, 
A5                    E5                    A5  
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through. 
A5                 E5   
I don't care that I can't sleep 
    F#5               D5 
I'd just as soon stay up all week 
A5                       D5                 E5  Fill   
I might get some things done while others dream. 
A5                        E5 
The heater broke and the room got cold 
       F#5                  D5    
and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older 
A5                 E5                      A5 
the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me 
 

C#5             D5 
If everyone was together 
        A5               E5 
I guess no one would be alone 
A5               D5                 E5  Fill     
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end. 
C#5              D5 
Somewhere in the fields of heather 
A5                         D5 
The proud souls laugh and love together 
A5                 E5                  A5 
somewhere between passion and losing friends  
 

A5                        E5                
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone 
   F#5                      D5      
my head was next to the telephone 
A5                D5                     E5   Fill 
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades. 
A5                        E5     
The one thing that seems always true 
     F#5               D5 
when I'm hung over the sky is blue. 
A5                 E5                        A5 
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day 
A5                       E5 
I believe in ghosts and democracy 
         F#5                       D5 
and that each man should leave his legacy 
A5                 D5              E5    Fill 
be that mans work great or be it small. 
A5                  E5    
I don't believe in everything like 
    F#5                       D5 
The designated hitter or that diamond rings 
A5                      E5                A5 
will make love last forever for one and all.
