Cm Ab
Livin' my life one mistake at a time
Eb Bb
All keep adding up
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Waiting tables for the last six years man my youth is wrappin' up
Cm Ab
And now I'm staring down in a glass
Eb Bb
For answers it won't give
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Wondering why I live to work, when I know I should be working to live
Cm Ab Eb Bb
So I get myself another drink and I try to forget that I drink too much
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Cause if this is my lot in life well it'll just have to be enough
Cm Ab
Because I'm settling for having my bills paid
Eb Bb
That cigarette after a long day
Cm Ab
And if it gets too hard I'll go and close the bar
Eb Bb
Run a tab up that'll be more than I made
Cm Ab
Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'
Eb Bb
They are the only thing that's keeping me moving
Cm Ab
And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave
Eb Bb
I'll be ok with this life I'm living, yeah
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Locked up institutionalized I'm labelled criminal of the state
Cm Ab Eb Bb
An affliction of addiction we all got, one on our plate
Cm Ab
Knocked up, car flipped, raided homes
Eb Bb
Troubled souls are the only ones I know and I
Cm Ab
Wouldn't take it any other way
Eb Bb
I'm so sorry if you can't relate
Cm Ab
Because I'm settling for having my bills paid
Eb Bb
That cigarette after a long day
Cm Ab
And if it gets too hard I'll go and close the bar
Eb Bb
Run a tab up that'll be more than I made
Cm Ab
Holding on to dreams I'm dreamin'
Eb Bb
They are the only thing that's keeping me moving
Cm Ab
And if when I awake I'm still a lowly slave
Eb Bb
I'll be ok with this life I'm living, yeah
