Key: G
Introduction:
G
You ask me if I'm happy now
D
That's good as any joke I've heard
It seems that since I've seen you last
G
I done forgot the meaning of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
G
Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam
D
But if it's got a thing to do
With smilin' of forgettin' you
G
Well I don't guess that I could say I am
G
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
G
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
C
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
D
That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
G
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
(verse 2)
