Jason Boland
This song is best played finger picked
A E
I got drunk by myself last night
F#m D
they say it's no way to make things right
A D E FILL
I just didn't have anything better to do.
A E
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
F#m D
I watched a show about crime and drugs,
A E A
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through.
A E
I don't care that I can't sleep
F#M D
I'd just as soon stay up all week
A D E FILL
I might get some things done while others dream.
A E
The heater broke and the room got cold
F#m D
and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
A E A
the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
Chorus
C#m D
If everyone was together
A E
I guess no one would be alone
A D E FILL
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
C#m D
Somewhere in the fields of heather
A D
The proud souls laugh and love together
A E A
somewhere between passion and losing friends
A E
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
F#m D
my head was next to the telephone
A D E FILL
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades.
A E
The one thing that seems always true
F#m D
when I'm hung over the sky is blue.
A E A
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
A E
I believe in ghosts and democracy
F#m D
and that each man should leave his legacy
A D E FILL
be that mans work great or be it small.
A E
I don't believe in everything like
F#m D
The designated hitter or that diamond rings
A E A
will make love last forever for one and all.
Chorus
