Verse 

      G          Em7           Cadd9   G 
Well, my lawyer walked in the room 
               G        Em7          Cadd9     G 
And he said, "Sit down, son, I ain't got good news" 
           G        Em7       Cadd9   G 
Well, she's taking your kid away 
     G         Em7        Cadd9   G 
And now you've gotta pay 
    G            Em7     Cadd9   G 
But my boss just cut my hours 
          G       Em7       Cadd9   G 
And I've been feeling weak 
    G          Em7           Cadd9   G 
My baby knows how I've been feeling 
       G            Em7        Cadd9   G 
Yeah, why she wanna do this to me?

Verse 

   G         Em7             Cadd9   G 
I think she tried to make it work 
              G      Em7            Cadd9  G 
But it was her mama standing in the way 
           G        Em7     Cadd9    G 
Yeah, she never did like my guitar 
          G       Em7          Cadd9  G 
She always called me a mistake 
               G        Em7     Cadd9   G 
But she got a grandchild out of me 
          G            Em7           Cadd9   G 
And some photo albums sitting on the shelf 
    G     Em7       Cadd9      G 
So how mad can she really be? 
                 G       Em7          Cadd9   G 
Turns out she's mad, and mad as hell

I'll tear down your house 
           Cadd9             G

I ain't good for no one else

Verse 

          G         Em7          Cadd9   G 
And I've been going out at night 
         G       Em7     Cadd9   G 
Looking for what led me astray 
       G             Em7        Cadd9   G 
And I come back with worn out excuses 
                G         Em7          Cadd9   G 
Maybe it's the night that took it all away 
          G           Em7          Cadd9         G 
And I've got next to nothing in my bank account 
                 G             Em7         Cadd9   G 
But I've got some friends that bail me out 
        G    Em7    Cadd9    G 
It's a hard life, I tell ya 
G       Em7           Cadd9   G 
Living hand to mouth

Verse 

         G         Em7     Cadd9   G 
Now I'm walking down North Avenue 
    G    Em7    Cadd9  G 
On a cold, cold day 
        G         Em7     Cadd9   G 
Down below is the Chicago River 
        G               Em7         Cadd9  G 
Down below I think I'd like to stay 
   G  Em7       Cadd9   G 
So I jump right in 
               G        Em7       Cadd9   G 
Cause I don't wanna disappoint no more 
             G              Em7         Cadd9      G 
And all the memories, they turned into nightmares 
            G        Em7       Cadd9   G 
I think my welcome's been well-worn
