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

Pedal Steel Solo:

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
