Verse 1:
G# minorG#m            C#C#
Perhaps I'd rather be alone
            F#F#            D#mD#m
See my friends in love, ones just a moment at a time
G# minorG#m                C#C#
It's a wild abandoned world, my home
         F#F#               D#mD#m
Nothing I do but think on what's becoming of my life
       G# minorG#m         C#C#
You know I'm getting fat and old
                 F#F#
The powers that be have killed in me
             D#mD#m
The power that you still hold
     G# minorG#m         C#C#
While my love is growing cold
             F#F#
The booze I said, I never leave it, even though I'm crumbling
D#mD#m
I can cope
          G# minorG#m
When are you coming down
           C#C#
To the hole I call a home

Chorus:
F#F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#mD#m
And bless my soul
G# minorG#m
Come on and life me up
C#C#
To your place on high
F#F#
Take off your dress babe
D#mD#m
Save my life


Verse 2:
          G# minorG#m        C#C#
Hindsight shine a wonder across my eye
           F#F#                D#mD#m
I saw the roads down which I could have lived a dozen lives
G# minorG#m             C#C#
I told myself that little lie
           F#F#              D#mD#m
I could have made it work, if I just had a little time
           G# minorG#m
When are you coming down
           C#C#
To the hole I call a home

Chorus:
F#F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#mD#m
And bless my soul
G# minorG#m
Come on and life me up
C#C#
To your place on high
F#F#
Take off your dress babe
D#mD#m
Save my life


Bridge:
A#mA#m   BB        F#F#
Working hard to believe it
A#mA#m   BB   F#F#   D#mD#m    C#C#   BB
Looking for a way to go forward head on high
         C#C#
Wouldn't hurt to try
           G# minorG#m
When are you coming down
           C#C#
To the hole I call a home


Chorus:
F#F#
Shake off your dress babe
D#mD#m
And bless my soul
G# minorG#m
Come on and life me up
C#C#
To your place on high
F#F#
Take off your dress babe
D#mD#m
Save my life
