FF C majorC
Woke up to snow, it?s Christmas again
FF C majorC
But you?re still not home, got thrown in the pen
FF C majorC
And I?m 6 years old, sitting here thinking
A minorAm DmDm C majorC
?why am I always alone??
FF C majorC G+G
So I watch my mama from the back of the van
FF C majorC G+G
As she drove along and having 7 kids
FF C majorC G+G
Must have been hard but daddy couldn?t
A minorAm FF C majorC
stay out of the bar
FF C majorC
It?s a crying game
G+G C majorC FF C majorC
Seeing him in prison on Christmas day
G+G FF C majorC
20 years later still such a shame
G+G A minorAm FF
To have a broken heart at such a young age
G+G A minorAm FF G+G
But now it?s all the same
FF G+G
It?s a crying game
FF C majorC G+G
I missed the call and woke up to find
FF C majorC G+G
My brother was gone that?s when I lost my mind
FF C majorC G+G
At 18 years old wondering how
A minorAm FF G+G
life could be so cold
FF C majorC G+G
But we came together like never before
FF C majorC G+G
All my brothers and sisters kept mama at shore
FF C majorC G+G
Till we lost another, it?s hard to know just
A minorAm FF G+G
what to think no more
FF C majorC
It?s a crying game
G+G FF C majorC
To have to put my brothers in their graves
G+G FF C majorC
Life ain?t perfect but it?s such a shame
G+G A minorAm FF G+G
They left behind the stories that they never made
FF G+G
Now it?s all the same
A minorAm FF G+G
It?s a crying game
FF DmDm FF
Living, loving gets me through the pain
C majorC G+G
Don?t take for granted a soul or a day
DmDm FF
Given where I?m going it?s crazy to think that
C majorC G+G
There?s a million other people out there playing
FF C majorC
A augmentedA crying game
G+G FF C majorC
There?s no winning, and no one to blame
G+G FF C majorC
Life is fragile and can slip away
G+G
And lemme tell you when it does
A minorAm FF G+G
it?s such a shame
FF G+G
But it?s all the same
FF
