Well I been sleepin' in my car
 G
Been movin' fast
       Cadd9               G
But it seems I ain't gone far

I'm barely a man and livin' hard
        Cadd9             G
Well my father killed himself
       Cadd9           G
And my mother hit the bar
 
Well ain't it funny,
          D                              G   Cadd9 G
Ain't it funny how the world'll set you free?
 
 
CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D                        Cadd9
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
        Am                              D
And my face don't look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can't swim
 D                   G   Cadd9 G
You better learn to drown
 
 
VERSE:
             D               G
Well I been stealin' all my meals
Cadd9            G
  I been gettin' by
      Cadd9               G            D
Every time the well runs dry I tell myself
                            G                  Cadd9  G
If it don't kill me then I guеss I'll never die
 
             D             G
Wеll I been acting like a mule
          Cadd9            G
Cause I'd rather hear you laugh
        Cadd9             G                D
Than to  be here with my mind and all my thoughts
        G                                    Cadd9  G
Well I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool
 
 
CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D                        Cadd9
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
        Am                              D
And my face don't look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can't swim
 D                   G   Cadd9 G   D  G
You better learn to drown

VERSE:
 G                       D           G
Well I've thought about closin' the door
    Cadd9      G
And ending it all
        Cadd9         G                 D
Like my father did before but it ain't worth
                          G            Cadd9 G
All the people who won't see me anymore
 
                  D                   G
Well there ain't much that lasts too long
        Cadd9               G
All the rights that I took wrong,
        Cadd9                   G
All the lefts that still ain't gone
              D
They will be here,
                        G  Cadd9 G
Here in my sad bastard song
 
 
CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D                        Cadd9
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
        Am                              D
And my face don't look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can't swim
 D                   G   G   Am D G
You better learn to drown
