Bass-G E A
A A
I've lived my life on the edge of a knife
G A Asus A
and I can't give it up
In the first reign of misery and pain
and I can't give it up
I've had a good time on the weeds and the wine
and I can't give it up
I've been up, been down, fall on the ground (floating aground)
and I can't give it up
and I can't give it up
Been under the table, then under the ground
and I can't give it up
I ride what I take but my life's a mistake
and I can't give it up
It all went wrong the day I was born
and I can't give it up
I've tried to drink less but I was a mess
and I can't give it up
and I can't give it up
It's hard to refuse when you've nothing to lose
and I can't give it up
I need to drink more my life's such a bore
and I can't give it up
I've had my fill and I've made my will
and I can't give it up
I drink all I can 'cause it makes me a man
and I can't give it up
and I can't give it up
