🎸 Verse:
D MajorD D7D7
There's an ashtray of crushed out cigarettes
G+G D MajorD
And an empty bourbon bottle by his bed
D MajorD D7D7
A augmentedA pile of change, a worn-out match book with a name
E7E7 A augmentedA
And a number scribbled on it that can't be read
G+G F# minorF#m E minorEm
Living all alone and in the red
G+G F# minorF#m A augmentedA
I guess sometimes it's worse than being dead

D MajorD
And he said, dying isn't cheap
Am6add11
It's a mighty hefty cost
G+G
When you're doing it like me
G minorGm
You've already lost
D MajorD
If I had to buy my way to heaven
Am6add11
Guess I'd go to hell
G+G
Since the only thing she left me
G minorGm
Was this old soul to sell
E minorEm
Since she set me free
A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC G+G
Living don't come easy and dying isn't cheap

For that woman I gave anything

Now I'd give anything to drown the hurt

I guess I'll live forever missing her

Because the pills and top shelf whiskey just don't work
