Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: G+G


Verse 1:

G+G                               C majorC
I live on a country road in the town where I was born.
G+G                              D MajorD
I wake up every morning to the birds singing their songs.
G+G                         C majorC                     G+G
I get out of bed and walk over to my window.
            D MajorD             C majorC
I watch the birds fly and think
          D MajorD                  G+G
Will they ever be that happy again?

Verse 2:

Go down stairs to find the wife that I won.
Sit down at the table and stare at my aged hands of 81.
Open up the paper to the obituaries.
I look at the faces and see if I recognize any.


Chorus:
C majorC                    G+G
This is my life as a suspicious man.
C majorC                               G+G    D MajorD
When everything's been stripped away from these hands.
G+G                    C majorC
Everyone I loved has come and gone.
       G+G            D MajorD                G+G
And to think, maybe I'll be the next one.

Verse 3:
Get a call today from my only son.
He tells me all about the city and says, "I'm sorry dad, but I just had to run."
"I know i didn't turn out the way you wanted me to."
"And I hope you still love me the way that I love you."


Chorus:
C majorC                     G+G
This is my life as an angry man.
C majorC                   G+G              D MajorD
People disobey everything I say anyway they can.
G+G                        C majorC
Everything I've done has gone to dirt.
    G+G             D MajorD               G+G
And when I try my best I just get hurt.


Verse 4:

I go outside to buy me some time.
I sit on the back porch with a beer in hand and my life in mind.
Think about all the people I pushed under me.
And I guess the only on eto blame is me.


Chorus:
C majorC                    G+G
This is my life as a wasted man.
C majorC                              G+G                       D MajorD
Pushing everyone away so I can be the one to grab that helping hand.
G+G                         C majorC
In my life I've lost everyone I love
         G+G           D MajorD                       G+G
From the things I've said or the things I've done.


Ending: G+G
