Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
E MajorE
I was pourin' out my troubles
A augmentedA
To a stranger in a bar
E MajorE
Of the problems and the pressures
BB
On a country music star
E MajorE
Half braggin', half complainin'
A augmentedA
'Bout the money and the fame
E MajorE
And just how lonely lot can be
BB E MajorE
When you've made yourself a name
Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
I said, "Would you like a drink?"
E MajorE
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
E MajorE
I worked up a powerful thirst
BB
Just listenin' to all your troubles"
A augmentedA
"And while he makes that drink
E MajorE
I'll smoke one if you got it
E MajorE
It might be lonely at the top
BB E MajorE
But it's a bitch at the bottom"
Verse 2:
E MajorE
I left a hundred on the table
A augmentedA
And didn't wait around for change
E MajorE
But my load a little lighter
BB
And my thinkin' rearranged
E MajorE
That stranger made me realize
A augmentedA
How thankful I should be
E MajorE
And if I forget, I hope those words
BB E MajorE
He said come back to me
Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
I said, "Would you like a drink?"
E MajorE
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
E MajorE
I worked up a powerful thirst
BB
Just listenin' to all your troubles"
A augmentedA
"And while he makes that drink
E MajorE
I'll smoke one if you got it
E MajorE
It might be lonely at the top
BB E MajorE
But it's a bitch at the bottom"
