Backside Of Thirty
View chords used in this chart
G C D
Makin' money at 30 with a wife and a son
G A7 D
Then a short 5 years later, it all comes undone
G C D
She's gone back to mama with the boy by her side
G D G
Now I'm wine drunk and runnin' with them on my mind
Chorus:
C G
I'm on the backside of thirty and back on my own
B7 C D
An empty apartment don't feel like a home
C G
On the backside of thirty, the short side of time
D C
Back on the bottom with no will to climb
It's dawn Monday mornin' and I just called in sick
I skipped work last Friday to drink this month's rent
And when my friends ask me I tell 'em I'm fine
But my eyes tell the story that my lies can't hide
