Intro:

Am  G  F  (x2)


Verse :
          Am              G
Well I remember what you told me
      F
Said drinking was unholy
    Am           G               F
So Lord can you point me to the creek

       Am            G
And I still keep it with me
        F
Tucked under all the memories
      Am       G                     F
Your voice echoing throughout those trees



Instrumental:
Am  G  F
Am  G  F




Verse :
            Am         G
And through unfavored weather
     F
And holes in the leather
       Am          G          F
These boots still covered in tar

                Am             G
Well I'm still praying to the heavens
     F
And hoping for them sevens
     Am        G         F
But hope only gets a man so far


Chorus:
     Am             G          F
When, this game of life plays heavy on my heart
   Am         G               F
And  love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
    Am          G          F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
              Am             G                F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?


Instrumental:
Am  G  F
Am  G  F




Verse :
               Am             G
Now I’ve seen heaven without dying
         F
Met the devil without trying
          Am           G            F
And they both seem to wanna talk to me

        Am         G
But I’m all outta luck now
        F
And my dreams aren’t worth a buck
          Am
How it’s tough
       G        F
Tryna land on my feet


Chorus:
     Am             G          F
When, this game of life plays heavy on my heart
   Am         G               F
And  love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
    Am          G          F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
              Am             G                F                   F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?




Verse :
         Am                G
And everyday it's getting colder
            F
Since that day in October
          Am            G
When you told me it was over
      F
So I left

               Am              G
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya
            F
I'm on the better side of sober
       Am               G
Tryna find a four leaf clover
        F
Get me out of this mess


Chorus:
F Am             G          F
   This game of life plays heavy on my heart
   Am         G               F
And  love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
    Am            G          F
And   I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
              Am             G                F  F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell


Chorus:
Am             G          F
 This game of life plays heavy on my heart
   Am         G               F
And  love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
    Am          G          F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
              Am             G                F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?
