-Standard Tuning- Verse 1:

^GYou ask me if I'm happy now That's good as any joke I've ^Dheard

It seems that since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the ^Gwords

Verse 2:

^GIf happiness is empty rooms and drinking in the afternoon Well I suppose I'm happy as a ^Cclam But ^Dif it's got a thing to do with smiling or forgetting you Well I don't guess that I can say I ^Gam

Chorus:

^GDid you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the ^Ddew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

He's been putting in his shoes to keep the ground from coming ^Gthrough And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants Because he's never seen a single dream come ^Ctrue Well that's the ^Dway that I've been feeling

Since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learning how to live with losing ^Gyou

Verse 3:

^GYou wonder if I'm better off with freedom Now to do the things I ^Dchoose

Well all my times my own and I got nothing left

But sleeping time to ^Glose

Verse 4:

^GThere's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long Or give a tinkers damn if I don't ^Ccall I'm ^Dliving like I wanted to and doing things I wanna do And nothing seems to mean a thing at ^Gall

Chorus:

^GDid you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the ^Ddew

When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper

Since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

From the bottle to the bottom losing ^Gyou
