D A
Well it's been ten years and a thousand tears
G D
And look at the mess I'm in
G D
An empty bottle of gin
D A
Well I sit and I pray
G D
In my broken down Chevrolet
D A
While I'm singin' to myself
G D
There's got to be another way
D A
Take away, take away
G D
Take away this ball and chain
D A
I'm lonely and I'm tired
G D
And I can't take any more pain
D A
Take away, take away
G D
Never to return again
D A
Take away, take away
G D
Take away, take away this ball and chain
D A
Well I've searched and I've searched
G D
To find the perfect life
G A
I even got me a little wife
D A
But whenever I have gone
G D
I was sure to find myself there
D A
You can run all your life
G D
But not go anywhere
(Repete o Refrão)
D A
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
G D
To my dingy hotel room
D A
I spent all my money
G D
Been drinkin' since half past noon
D A
I'll wake there in the mornin'
G D
Or maybe in the county jail
D A
Times are hard getting harder
G D
I'm born to lose and destined to fail
