Single six months yesterday

Thought I outta celebrate

CHORUS
G+G C majorC D MajorD
But I'm doin' my best every day and every night
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Hangin' on by a thread that's stretched just a little too tight
C majorC
If I can't find some peace of mind I'll take what I can get
D MajorD
I ain't doin' much good but I'm doin' my best
