A


Verse 1:
   A                     D              A
My life before music's a life I can't remember
                           D              E  E7
My life before picking's a life I often recall
    A                      D                     A     D
The best part of me's gone out like last night's ember
                  A        E7               A
The worst part of me comes out when I write the song

Chorus:
           D
Nothing is free
          A
Rusted or golden
           D
I can't be free
                 E
From failure too long
            D
I'd like to say that I've done good
              A      D
But I can't remember
                  A        E
The worst part of me comes out
             A
When I write the song


Verse 2:
         A                   D              A
I've had my momma cryin' for me right on my shoulder
                          D                      E7
Daddy's been prouder, I'm sure, than he's let it known
    A                       D              A       D
The best part of me's grown out on my baby brother
                  A        E7               A
The worst part of me comes out when I write the song


Chorus:
               D
Oh, nothing is free
          A
Rusted or golden
           D
I can't be free
                 E
From failure too long
            D
I'd like to say that I've done good
              A      D
But I can't remember
                  A        E
The worst part of me comes out
             D         D#m
