Capo 2 
G D Em C 

G                          D 
I got drunk by myself last night 
Em                                C 
they say it's no way to make things right 
G                          D                           G 
I just didn't have anything better to do. 
G                                           D 
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and 
   Em                                  C 
I watched a show about crime and drugs, 
G                                 D                                G 
punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through. 
G                         D 
 I don't care that I can't sleep 
Em                       C 
I'd just as soon stay up all week 
G                                    D                            G 
I might get some things done while others dream. 
G                                        D 
The heater broke and the room got cold 
             Em                               C 
and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older 
G                          D                              G 
the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me 

[Refrão]
Bm                             C 
 If everyone was together 
             G                           D 
I guess no one would be alone 
G                      D                       G 
 Life's a lot of trade offs in the end. 
Bm                           C 
Somewhere in the fields of heather 
         G                                  D 
The proud souls laugh and love together 
   G                                D                           G 
somewhere between passion and losing friends 
G                                       D 
 Sleep finally came but I woke up alone 
        Em                            C 
my head was next to the telephone 
  G                          D                                 G 
 I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades. 
 G                                   D 
The thing that seems always true 
  Em                                  C 
 when I'm hung over the sky is blue. 
   G                        D                                    G 
 A rough night for me will make a hell of a day 
G                                          D 
 I believe in ghosts and democracy 
                 Em                                       C 
and that each man should leave his legacy 
 G                              D                   G 
 be that mans work great or be it small. 
 G                                          D 
 I don't believe in everything like 
          Em                                    C 
the designated hitter or that diamond rings 
G                               D                         G 
will make love last forever for one and all.
