G                             D
Single 6 months yesterday, thought I oughta celebrate
C                  D            G
So I went down to grab a couple beers
       C                                D                G
And I got so drunk I ripped my pants, asked the bouncer for a dance
C                               D            G
Thanked him as he threw me out, woke up in a waffle house
        C                          D                 C9     G/F# - G
With a shiner and a wild brunette, she don't know my real name yet
                D/A
No I ain't over you


CHORUS:
                  G   C9           D
But I'm doin' my best, every day and every night
                 G     C9                     D
Hangin' on by a thread, that's stretched just a little too tight
   Am7                D                    G              C
If I can't find some peace of mind, I'll take what I can get
                    D/A                   G
I ain't goin' much good, but I'm doin' my best


I decided I'd get smart, and have a long talk with my heart
At a quiet spot outside of town
So I took my best friend's Pontiac, drove it like a maniac
Right into the resevoir, I guess we ain't best friends no more
Just my luck a cop came by, who I beat up in junior high
He said I better have a good excuse

CHORUS


BRIDGE:
     Am                             G
Someday I just might join the human race again
   C                                  D            G    D
If I can ever find a place to show my face again, yeah yeah
              G
I'm doin' my best
