[Verse 1]
Am G6add11 F
Well, I remember what you told me, you said drinking was unholy
Am G6add11 F
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
Am G6add11 F
And I still keep it with me, tucked under all the memories

Your voice echoing throughout those trees

Am G6add11 F (2x)
[Verse 2]
Am G6add11 F
And through unfavored weather, and holes in the leather
Am G6add11 F
These boots still covered in tar
Am G6add11 F
I'm still praying to the heavens, and hoping for them sevens
Am G6add11 F
But hope only gets a man so far
[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Am G6add11 F
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am G6add11 F
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am* G6add11* F*
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?
[Interlude]
Am G6add11 F (2x)

I've seen Heaven without dying, met the Devil without trying
Am G6add11 F
And they both seem to wanna talk to me
Am G6add11 F
But I'm all out of luck now, and my dreams aren't worth a buck now
Am G6add11 F
It's tough tryna land on my feet
[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F

And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?
[Bridge]
Am G6add11 F
And every day it's getting colder since that day in October
Am G6add11 F
When you told me it was over so I left
Am G6add11 F
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya I'm on the better side of sober
Am* G6add11* F*
Tryna find a four leaf clover get me out of this mess
[Chorus]
Am* G6add11* F*
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Am* G6add11* F*
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am* G6add11* F*
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am* G6add11* F
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell …
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
