Hanging Your Life On A augmentedA Wall
Guy Clark         (Capo to taste, I don't use one here)


[Verse]

C majorC               FF
I used to be Juanita's old boyfriend
C majorC                FF
We sure gave 'em some stories to tell
   C majorC     G+G    FF  G+G
Now I can't even find her picture
      FF        G+G    C majorC
I guess I'm finally through foolin' myself

 C majorC          FF
I used to be an ex-bullrider
C majorC              FF
Livin' on the edge of life itself
   C majorC     G+G    FF  G+G
Now I can't even find my buckle
        FF        G+G    C majorC
Looks like I'm finally through foolin' myself

[Chorus]

FF  C majorC     G+G      C majorC
Hang on just as long as you can
FF     G+G    C majorC
Get up whenever you fall
FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again
     FF       G+G     C majorC
Don't be hangin' your life on the wall

FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF G+G C majorC FF Instrumental

[Optional chorus in lieu of instrumental]

     FF    C majorC       G+G      C majorC
     well you know that old dog of mine Caesar
     FF     G+G  C majorC
     he was my rode manager
     FF         C majorC         G+G     C majorC
     now he could tell time, and he could drive a Volvo
        FF             G+G         C majorC
     but I probably should have never let him drive that day


[Verse]

 C majorC             FF
I used to be forever chasin' firetrucks
C majorC             FF
I sure could raise me some hell
C majorC       G+G      FF       G+G
I don't know why I like to do that kinda stuff
      FF       G+G    C majorC
I guessed I wasn't through foolin' myself

 C majorC               FF
I used to have a smokin' little fastball
C majorC             FF
I sure could show 'em some stuff
    C majorC     G+G
Now I can't even make it on the
      FF      G+G
     church team anymore
      FF        G+G    C majorC
I guess I'm finally through foolin' myself


[Chorus] x2

FF  C majorC     G+G      C majorC
Hang on just as long as you can
FF     G+G    C majorC
Get up whenever you fall
FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again
     FF       G+G     C majorC
Don't be hangin' your life on the wall


[Outro]

FF      C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Shake it off, Boys, and go 'round again
     FF       G+G     C majorC
Don't be hangin' your life on the wall
