Intro: D Verse 1: G I'm pissed off after nothing the people that I meet C G Who go to shoot my hand with the rifle up their sleeve D They freeze me out all winter burn me up all summer C G Try to take my money when I'm desperate and depressed D Ain't it a mess Verse 2: G And I played for free [?] the miles on my truck C G Got no sleep in motels cause the worry keeps me up D It almost drives me crazy thinking about my baby C G And how he's gonna love me if I'm desperate and depressed D Ain't no time for rest
Chorus: C G Momma never told me that things would be this way C D Daddy tried to warn me that there'd be hell to pay G C If I can't find the money then I can't buy the time G D G I'm stuck here making someone else's dime Solo: G C G D C G D (like the verses) Verse 3: G I busked in Sarasota I made him twenty-seven bucks C G I [?????????????] I might have his luck D You talked behind my back now stabbed me in the front C G But don't think you can hurt me cause I'm desperate and depressed D Ain't it a mess Verse 4: G Please, somebody tell me how to make it stop C G This rug feels like a roller coaster I just can't get off D Tried rehab and probation tried self-medication C G But none of that can cure you when you're desperate and depressed D Ain't it a mess Chorus: C G Momma never told me that things would be this way C D Daddy tried to warn me that there'd be hell to pay G C If I can't find the money then I can't buy the lie G D G Oh, ten percent of nothing ain't worth a dime D G So don't you try to sell me back what's mine D C G
