E                       
He's like a king without a crown
E
He wears it like a clown
E
Watch him disappear
E
I wish he would come down


Chorus:
   E                G    A (riff)
So call before you drown
        E          G     A (riff)
I won't always be around
E               G     A (riff)
Living for the bottle
     E               G     A (riff)
He's living for the bottle


Break:
E

E
He's a ship without a sail

He's not listening when you speak
E
Living for the bottle
E
He'll be sitting there all week

           E               G    A (riff)    
There's no light on in his eyes
    E             G    A (riff)    
How heavy are the lies
     E                    G    A (riff)    
Just jumped right out his skin

He'll take you for a ride

Still looking for a fight

All in black

He won't be home tonight
