VERSE:
             D              G  Cadd9
Well I been sleepin` in my car
 G
Been movin` fast
       Cadd9               G
But it seems I ain`t gone far
                D
And I can`t believe
                                 G  Cadd9 G
All what I am and what I used to be

              D              G
I`m barely a man and livin` hard
        Cadd9             G
Well my father killed himself
       Cadd9           G
And my mother hit the bar

Well ain`t it funny,
          D                              G   Cadd9 G
Ain`t it funny how the world`ll set you free?


CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin` why I`m down
D                        Cadd9
I don`t feel easy if the blues don`t come around
        Am                              D
And my face don`t look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can`t swim
 D                   G   Cadd9 G
You better learn to drown


VERSE:
             D               G
Well I been stealin` all my meals
Cadd9            G
  I been gettin` by
      Cadd9               G            D
Every time the well runs dry I tell myself
                            G                  Cadd9  G
If it don`t kill me then I guеss I`ll never die

             D             G
Wеll I been acting like a mule
          Cadd9            G
Cause I`d rather hear you laugh
        Cadd9             G                D
Than to  be here with my mind and all my thoughts
        G                                    Cadd9  G
Well I guess I`ll always be the laughin` fool


CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin` why I`m down
D                        Cadd9
I don`t feel easy if the blues don`t come around
        Am                              D
And my face don`t look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can`t swim
 D                   G   Cadd9 G   D  G
You better learn to drown


INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:
Cadd9 G  Cadd9 G D  Cadd9 D G


VERSE:
 G                       D           G
Well I`ve thought about closin` the door
    Cadd9      G
And ending it all
        Cadd9         G                 D
Like my father did before but it ain`t worth
                          G            Cadd9 G
All the people who won`t see me anymore

                  D                   G
Well there ain`t much that lasts too long
        Cadd9               G
All the rights that I took wrong,
        Cadd9                   G
All the lefts that still ain`t gone
              D
They will be here,
                        G  Cadd9 G
Here in my sad bastard song


CHORUS:
D                     Cadd9
I spent my whole life wonderin` why I`m down
D                        Cadd9
I don`t feel easy if the blues don`t come around
        Am                              D
And my face don`t look right without a frown
        Cadd9
Well if  you can`t swim
 D                   G   G   Am D G
You better learn to drown
