-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: letanggirl58

Tuning: Standard (Capo 1) - Also sounds okay with no capo

First Submission. Sounds right to me, but I'm sure there are all kinds of variations that will sound right.


     C                       F
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
     C                             G
It's easy gettin' messed up on the truth
     C                           F
It's hard standing here watchin' taillights disappear
     C                           G            C
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you

     C                            F
It's hard to leave the house when all I think about
   C                                 G
Is how hard it might be to come back home
      C                                F
I wait here and watch the rain when you come back for all your things
C                                        G
You get what you want and then you'll go

     C                       F
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
     C                             G
It's easy gettin' messed up on the truth
     C                           F
It's hard standing here watchin' taillights disappear
     C                           G            C
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you

     C                                 F
It's hard to quit this smokin' when my will to fight is broken
     C                         G
It's hard to quit a habit in a rush
       C                                 F
When I wake up in the morning, just like you I'm lookin' for 'em
C                                   G
Can't seem to put down this pick me up

     C                       F
It's hard staying sober when you ain't staying over
     C                             G
It's easy gettin' messed up on the truth
     C                           F
It's hard standing here watchin' taillights disappear
     C                           G            C
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you
     C                           G            C
It's hard staying sober when I'm getting over you

                        C
Why you think the world drinks?
                        F
Why you think the world smokes?
                        C              F                     G
Why do you think we all sit around and tell a bunch of dirty jokes
    C                         
Somebody somewhere is out havin' a ball
        F
And somebody's sittin' 'round heart broke
                     C        G
Why you think we all drink?
                     C
Why you think we all smoke?

                     C       G
Why you think we all drink?
                     C
Why you think we all smoke?

Note: There is a little instrumental break between the last part and the tag. Just vamp with the same chords
and you should be fine. There is also an outro which should also just use the same chords.
