Key: B Intro: G7 Verse 1: G7 D7 I can promise you I won’t ever stop drinking G7 Ain’t ever gonna be some holy roller D7 But for the millionth time I thought about quittin’ today G And Lord I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout gettin’ sober D7 Time after time after time, and again and again G I been left out, left behind and misunderstood D7 And I get so tired of watching ‘em livin’ my dreams G7 I got to get to gettin’ while the gettin’s good
Chorus: C D7 So I ain’t got a choice G C But to sit around in a honky tonk D7 Listenin’ to that old jukebox play G C Them sad old lonesome country songs D7 G C Rockin’ a bar stool, tryin’ not to cry D7 G Just watching the world pass me by Verse 2: G D7 Some folks know how to make the needle jump G And some they got the licks to make ‘em cream D7 Me, I’m just hanging out in the shadows G I’m even having ECs in my dreams D7 Must be so easy when you’re easy on the eyes G And daddy’s bankroll to make the rules D7 Put on a Stetson and pretend like the game ain’t stacked G And at the end of it say, “Shes just a bitter, jaded, helpless fool” Chorus: C D7 And I ain’t got a choice G C But to sit around in a honky tonk D7 Listenin’ to that old jukebox play G C Them sad old lonesome country songs D7 G C Rockin’ a bar stool, tryin’ not to cry D7 C D7 G Hell watching the world, just watching the world pass me by Harmonica Solo: C D7 G C D7 G Pedal Steel Solo: C D7 G C D7 G Bridge: G D7 Ain’t nobody talking about the big score G But every morning I’m a little more decomposed D7 And I heard it’s always hot down in Panama City G Hell, I better get my ass to the coast Chorus: C D7 And I ain’t got a choice G C But to sit around in a honky tonk D Listenin to that old country band play G Them tear-in-my-beer drinking songs C D7 G C Rockin’ a bar stool, don't ever let me see you cry D And I'm watching the world Am D Just watching my life C D G I'm watching the world pass me by Outro: G7
