A C#m
Got drunk by myself last night
bm A
& they say thatās no way to make things right
E
I just didnāt have anything better to do
A E
The dog was asleep on the living room rug
D A
And I watched a show about a crime of drugs
A E A
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through
A C#m
I donāt care that I canāt sleep
bm A
Iād just as soon stay up all week
A E
Might get some things done while others dream
A E
The heater broke and the room got cold
D A
And my knees and ankles say Iām getting older
A E A
The phone finally rang but it wasnāt for me
Chorus:
D E A
If everyone should be together
E bm
I guess no one would be alone
E A
Thatās a lot of tradeoffs in the end
E D
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
A D
Proud Souls laugh and love together
A E A
Some where between passion and losing friends
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
And my head was next to the telephone
A gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shade
One thing that seems always true
When Iām hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me makes a hell of a day
I believe in ghost and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
That mans work great or be it small
But I donāt believe in everything
Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings
Can make love last for ever for one and all
Chorus:
(Repeat) Somewhere between passion and loosing friends
This is how I play the song and it sounds pretty good. These Guys are
awesome in concert, if you ever get a change go see them.
