🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
What goes wrong with the mind of a man in a bar
E7E7 A augmentedA
Who sits and keeps drinking with his thoughts strayed so far?
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
It's the same old sad story that has often been told
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
One drink, then another 'til he's out of control
🎸 Verse 2:
G+G D MajorD
He sits down at a table with his hands on a glass
E7E7 A augmentedA
For him there's no future, there's only the past
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He reaches for the bottle but his hands don't take hold
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
His eyes just can't focus, he's out of control
🎸 Verse 3:
G+G D MajorD
Does he search for contentment that he might hope to find
E7E7 A augmentedA
From a honky tonk woman or the bottles of wine?
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He shakes and he trembles even though he's not old
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Like a leaf in a whirlwind he's out of control
🎸 Instrumental:

🎸 Outro:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Yes
I'm just like that fellow who sits there all alone
E7E7 A augmentedA
With no one to love me, no family at home
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I'm a picture of others with a future so cold
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
A augmentedA life ain't worth livin' when it's out of control
