Intro: A
A D A
I been lying around these last few days
E D A
Afraid that if I start moving I'd find my way
D A
And that if I start talking I'd have something to say
E D A
Ain't that the way it goes
A D A
I drink to remember the best of my friends
E D A
I'll drink to forget the worst of my sins
D A
And I'll drink to make love to her once again
E D A
Or to a girl of similar size
D A
I hate myself come morning, but I love me late at night
E F#m
If you ask how I'm doing, I'll say that I'm alright
D A
Ain't nothing wrong with dying if it helps to pass the time
E F#m
I'll be dancing through the graveyard laughing with a friend of mine
D A
Sharing dreams of a coastline and a road to nowhere
E F#m
I'll be drunk driving, wind blowing through my hair
E F#m
When that savior comes to take me, Lord, I will not have a care
E D A
As his hands uncover my eyes
E D A
Ain't that how a man's supposed to die?
