[F]C [133211]X32010
A7 X02010
[G]I COULD TELL HE HAD A TOUGH LIFE,
BY THE WAY [F]HE SAT AND STARED
[C]AND ME, Iâ??D COME TO PUSH AND SHOVE,
SO I [G]PULLED UP I CHAIR
[G]WE TALKED OF ROADS UNTRAVELED,
WE [G]TALKED OF LOVE UNTRUE
OF [C]STRINGS THAT COME UNRAVELED,
WE WERE KINGS [G]OF KINDRED FOOLS
AND [A7]JUST WHEN I HIT BOTTOM,
THAT [D]OLD MAN RAISES HIS GLASS.
AND SAID AT LEAST [A7]WEâ??VE HAD OUR CHANCES,
THERES [D]THOSE WHO NEVER HAVE
CHORUS
SO [C]HERES TO ALL THE SOLDIE[D]RS, WHO HAVE [G]EVER DIED IN [D]VANE[C]
THE [A7]INSANE LOCKED UP IN THEM[D]SELVES, THE [G]HOMLESS DOWN ON MAIN
TO [C]THOSE WHO STAND ON EMPTY [D]SHORES, AND [G]SPIT AGAINS[D]T THE WIND[C]
AND [A7]THOSE WHO WAIT FOR[D]EVER, FOR [C]SHIPS THAT DONâ??[D]T COME IN.
[G]HE SAID ITS ONLY LIFES ILLUSIONS,
THAT [F]BRING US TO THIS BAR
[C]TO PICK UP THESE OLD CRUTCHES,
AND [G]COMPARE EACH OTHERS SCARS
[G]CAUSE THE THING WERE CALLING HEARTACHE,
HELL, [F]THERE HARLDLY WORTH OUR TIME
WEâ??[C]D B***H ABOUT A DOLLAR,
WHEN [G]THERES THOSE WITHOUT A DIME
AS HE [A7]ORDERED ONE LAST ROUND HE SAID,
I [D]GUESS WE CANâ??T COMPLAIN
GOD MADE [A7]LIFE A GAMBLE
AND WERE [D]STILL IN THE GAME
