G
Single six months yesterday
D
Thought I oughta celebrate
(A,B) C D G
So I went down to grab a couple beers
C
And I got so drunk I ripped my pants
D G
I asked the bouncer for a dance
C
I thanked him as he threw me out
D G
I woke up at a waffle house
C
With a shiner and a wild brunette
D (E,F#) C
She don’t know my real name yet
B Am D
Well no I ain’t over you
Chorus:
G C
But I’m doin’ my best
D
Every day and every night
G C
Hangin’ on by a thread
D
That’s streched just a little too tight
Em F#m
If I can’t find some peace of mind
G (B) C
I’ll take what I can get
D
I ain’t doin’ much good
G
But I’m doin’ my best
I decided I’d get smart
And have a long talk with my heart
Ar some quiet spot outside of town
So I took my best friend’s Pontiac
I drove it like a maniac
Right into the reservoir
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
Em F# G
Some day I just might join the human race again
C B Am
If I can ever find a place to show my face again
CHORUS
