D5                                                     
Lately things ain't been going my way 
G5
Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day
A5
It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down   
          D5
So I been making that all go round
D5                                                                                     
Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind  
          G5
Seems to work alright 'til closing time
A5                                                                                             
But you know you're gonna come down every night    
           D5
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
G5                                                                      
Ain't that hard to figure where to begin   
      D5
It's Friday night so I'm rushing in
         E5                        A5     
Like a fool I get it anywhere I can

Chorus
D5                                               D5
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G5
Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 
D5                                           
you'll find me downtown  
Dsus7
Gracefully face down
E5                    A5        D5
Just wishing I could  feel   alright

Verse
D5                                                                                          
Lately I've been wanderin around with eyes closed 
    G5
It seems like I been heading down the wrong road
   A5                                                                 
I Thought I'd find my way by now  
         D5
But I still got lost somehow
D5                      
You hear shots fall down from Heaven above, You might  
G5
lose a friend you might fall in love, But you
A5                              
know you're gonna come down every night, and there  
D5
ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
G5                                                                         
Six in the morning 'til your dying day, it's   
D5
straight bad news and bills to pay, but come
E5                                  A5
five o'clock you're feeling good again

Chorus

D5                                               D5
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G5
Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 
D5                                           
you'll find me downtown  
Dsus7
Gracefully face down
E5                    A5        D5
Just wishing I could  feel   alright

Verse
D5                                                                                           
Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground, Sat
G5
up on the floor seems the room spin around, But when you
A5                       
squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle, Things  
D5
really don't look so bad
D5                                                                                       
You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 oz bottle 
G5
Swig some bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em , But you
A5                                                                                            
know you're gonna come down every night and there 
D5
ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied, There's
G5                                                                              
years of my life I don't remember at all, Like 
D5
one Friday evening I can barely recall, There was a
E5                                     A5
sad situation in a bar room bathroom stall

Chorus

D5                                               D5
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G5
Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 
D5                                           
you'll find me downtown  
Dsus7
Gracefully face down
E5                    A5        D5    Dsus7
Just wishing I could  feel   alright
E5                    A5        D5
Just wishing I could  feel   alright
