I COULD TELL HE HAD A TOUGH LIFE,

F

BY THE WAY HE SAT AND STARED

C

AND ME, I’D COME TO PUSH AND SHOVE,

G

SO I PULLED UP I CHAIR

G

WE TALKED OF ROADS UNTRAVELED,

G

WE TALKED OF LOVE UNTRUE

C

OF STRINGS THAT COME UNRAVELED,

G

WE WERE KINGS OF KINDRED FOOLS

AND JUST WHEN I HIT BOTTOM,

D

THAT OLD MAN RAISES HIS GLASS.

A7

AND SAID AT LEAST WE’VE HAD OUR CHANCES,

D

THERES THOSE WHO NEVER HAVE

CHORUS

SO HERES TO ALL THE SOLDIERS, WHO HAVE EVER DIED IN VANE

A7 D G

THE INSANE LOCKED UP IN THEMSELVES, THE HOMLESS DOWN ON MAIN

C D G D C

TO THOSE WHO STAND ON EMPTY SHORES, AND SPIT AGAINST THE WIND

A7 D C D

AND THOSE WHO WAIT FOREVER, FOR SHIPS THAT DON’T COME IN.

G

HE SAID ITS ONLY LIFES ILLUSIONS,

F

THAT BRING US TO THIS BAR

C

TO PICK UP THESE OLD CRUTCHES,

G

AND COMPARE EACH OTHERS SCARS

G

CAUSE THE THING WERE CALLING HEARTACHE,

F

HELL, THERE HARLDLY WORTH OUR TIME

C

WE’D BITCH ABOUT A DOLLAR,

G

WHEN THERES THOSE WITHOUT A DIME

AS HE ORDERED ONE LAST ROUND HE SAID,

D

I GUESS WE CAN’T COMPLAIN

A7

GOD MADE LIFE A GAMBLE

D

AND WERE STILL IN THE GAME
