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

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

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

Chorus

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

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

Chorus

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