Intro: Em  G  C/G  G4(6)  A4(6) (x2)

Em                  G
Do I have nothing good left to say
C/G                     G4(6)           A4(6)
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
Em                   G
People love to drink their troubles away
C/G                          G4(6)         A4(6)
sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way

Em                     G
'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
C/G                  G4(6)             A4(6)
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
Em                      G
This is something that I'll never control
C/G                        G4(6)       A4(6)
My nerves will be the death of me  I know


Em                     G
So here's to living life miserable
C/G                          G4(6)             A4(6)
And here's to all the lovely stories that I've told
Em                   G
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow
C/G                        G4(6)             A4(6)
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle

Em              G
Maybe then I could sleep at night
C/G                   G4(6)            A4(6)
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light
Em                      G
This is something that I'll never control
C/G                       G4(6)        A4(6)
My nerves will be the death of me  I know

C/G             A4(6)            Em
Finally I could hope for a better day
C/G                    A4(6)                   Em
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
C/G              A4(6)                       Em
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy
C/G                            A4(6)            Em
But then again  I'll probably always feel this way


Em                   G
At least I know I'll never sleep at night
C/G                   G4(6)             A4(6)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light
Em                      G
This is something that I'll never control
C/G                    A4(6)          Em
My nerves will be the death of me  I know
