written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.

Verse 1:
                         G (320003@1)You ask me if i'm happy now
                                 	D (xx0232@1)That's good as any joke i've heard

	It seems since i've seen you last
			  	           G (320003@1)I've done forgotten the meening of the words

	If happiness is empty rooms

	And drinkin' in the afternoon
				C (x32010@1)Well i suppose i'm happy as aclown (x02210@1)	     D (xx0232@1)But if it's got athing (x02210@1)to do

	With smilin' of forgettin' you
				     G (320003@1)Well i don't guess that i could say i am


Chorus:
	 G (320003@1)Did you ever see adarling (x02210@1)out awaken (x02210@1)up alone
					D (xx0232@1)Without ablanket (x02210@1)on to keep him from the dew

	When the water from the weeds that sop the paper
									 G (320003@1)He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

	And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
					     C (x32010@1)Because he's never seen asingle (x02210@1)dream come true
		D (xx0232@1)That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallen

	From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew
				G (320003@1)Learnin' hard to live with losin' you


Verse 2:
	  G (320003@1)You wonder if i'm better off
				           D (xx0232@1)With freedom now to do the things i choose

	With all my times my own and
			                         G (320003@1)I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

	There's no one here to carry on

	If i stay out the whole night lone
				  C (x32010@1)Give athinker's (x02210@1)damn if i don't call
	    D (xx0232@1)I'm livin' like i wanted you

	And doin' things i wanna do
				         G (320003@1)And nothin' means athings (x02210@1)to me at all


Chorus.
