(intro) A5 C5 G5 D5

     A5      C5        G5             D5
This song is sung for anyone that's listening
A5           C5       G5               D5
This song is for the broken-spirited man
A5           C5   G5           D5
This song is for anyone left standing
A5        C5           G5        D5    (pick D5 chord)
After the strain of a slow sad end

(5) --3---2---0

It seems everybody wants what someone else has
And there's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around's a world grown mean

(chorus)
           E5   C5
Well we've all had
    E5       C5
Our ups and downs
          E5      C5           E5
It's been mostly down around here

(5) --0--0 H2--2--2 H3--3--3 P2--2--0

         A5         C5              G5              D5
Now this whole damn mess should be becoming quite clear

                 G5           G5 E5             D5
Looks like we're all looking for    a life worth livin'
       A5     C5     G5            D5
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
      G5           G5 E5             D5
We're all looking for    a life worth livin'
       A5     C5            G5        D5
That's why we pray for our souls to keep

There's nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man's broken will to care
And in the end before all is said and done
How many others might follow him there

(same chords as chorus)
But midnight is coming round
It's still mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear

Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
We're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we pray for our souls to keep
