Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
A                           E
A person does things for no reason
          F#m               D
Because a reason is to survive
   A                            C#m
So since there's no reason to survive
                     D       E
A person should do nothing, oh
        A                    E
But you feel that you should do something
            F#m               D
Because you only have this one life
       A                 C#m
So you talk with the other people
                   D          E
But you never do it right, woah


Chorus:
          A
So you're ashamed
                           E
On the barroom floor, she's ashamed
                     F#m
She can't take it anymore
                          B7
I'm ashamed 'cause I said something
    D         E         A
Oh, something I did not mean

Verse 2:
A                                                  E
When a little brother and sister make it with each other
        F#m               D          A
And the family lose their minds, well
          C#m               D         E
Don't you think they have no right? Woah
       A
Because (Ooh)
A                                 E
Little Tom and Jane wanna do something (Ah)
F#m                     D
They only have this one life
   A                      C#m
So they make it with each other
                            D        E
Just to make it through the night, oh


Chorus:
            A
They're not ashamed
                      E
On the barroom floor, ashamed
                 F#m
Can't take it anymore
                        B7
Ashamed 'cause they did something
    D         E           A
Oh, something they really mean

Verse 3:
A
She was older now
                     E
So the memories came flooding back
         F#m                   D        A
Then she threw up all of that cognac
                           C#m
She knew that she loved no other
                              D         E
And she knew that she had the right, woah
    A                                      E
The right to love and to be loved in one's life
F#m                                 D
The right to feel his body hold her tight
  A           C#m
I love him, I love him
                    D
No longer would she fight
                 E
Surrender to the night


Chorus:
             A
And I am not ashamed
                      E
On the barroom floor, ashamed
                         F#m
I just can't take it anymore, I'm ashamed
                B7
Because I said something
             D        E
Always doing something
         A                          E
Oh, do I mean, I really didn't mean to


Outro:
F#m  B7
Oh, oh
