Intro: E7 A7 E7 B7 E7 A7 E7 B7 E7 Verse 1: E7 A7 Well I've been goin' for a couple of years E7 B7 And it seems that the answer it is comin' quite clear E7 A7 Oh I don't even know what I am doin' here E7 But I can drive with my eyes closed B7 And play by ear E7 And I can sleep beneath the piano C7 Just like that's my natural home B7 D7 E7 With all those keys I never feel alone E7 Yes I can sleep beneath the piano C7 Just like that's my natural home B7 D7 E7 With all those keys I never feel alone Verse 2: E7 A7 I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea E7 B7 She swore she didn't want nothin' from me E7 A7 Now if you ever hear that line boy don't you dare believe E7 B7 Ah there ain't nothin' but deep blues down in that bitter recipe E7 A7 And'a when I left town she had those tears in her eyes E7 B7 But'a, I ain't one for no emotional goodbyes E7 C7 So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home B7 D7 E7 Couple more drinks and you don't know she's alone E7 C7 Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea B7 D7 E7 A couple more drinks and she forgot all about me E7 A7 Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me E7 B7 It's like it ain't no kinda competition indeed E7 A7 They said'a "Hey boy have you ever been stabbed before?" E7 B7 I said "Not yet, I'm grabbin' my hat and just headin' for the door" E7 A7 And'a I made my way down to that rich side of town E7 B7 Where everybody's tossin' big words around E7 A7 But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown E7 B7 I hear those whispers like rain just a'fallin' on down E7 C7 Say "He drinks like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone B7 D7 E7 Boy is better off left alone" E7 C7 They say "He drink like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone B7 D7 E7 Boy is better off left alone" Outro: E7 A7 E7 B7 E7 A7 E7 B7 E7
