      I slipped straight though to 8 am. That same old  
      D5                G5                 D5         
lame alarm excuse just ain't gonna work again. I light a  
A5             G5               A5           F5     G5   
marborral for breakfast on my way out the door. That's the  
               D5                   G5                D5 
third day this month I had one too many the night before.  
    F5                     G5  
And judgin from the past, it won't be the last.

It's a free fall when your back's against the  
               G5    
wall. When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out  
        E5                                 A5 
how's a man supposed stand tall. Well the high life ain't  
D5        G5 
my life I can't walk the line and I damn sure ain't gonna  
E5                              A5 G5 A5 F5 G5 D5 G5 D5              
crawl just livin in a free fall.

With a shovel in my hand and a hammer in my head  
G5                 D5                       G5 
right about now I can think of a thousand things I'd  
            D5          A5           G5        A5       F5 
rather do instead. I'm diggin this hole for my dignity I  
G5                          D5                         G5 
think I've finally come to understand workin for the man  
             D5            F5                         G5 
ain't workin for me I can only take so much my only way to  
 
go is up. 
 
                                                         
       A5                   D5 
From a free fall when your back's  
                           G5 
against the wall. When you hit rock bottom and the bottom  
                  E5                                 A5 
drops out how's a man supposed stand tall. Well the high  
           D5        G5 
life ain't my life I can't walk the line and I damn sure  
            E5 
ain't gonna crawl, livin in a free fall.
