I don’t feel like anymore drinking, and I cant seem to stop sinking

 E                  A             E       
Ive grown weary of thinking, Im way beyond the blues, 

         B7               E
must be somewhere in the black.

E                  A                          E                    
So lost in sorrow, dont think Ill find my way back.

                                 B7               E
Im way beyond the blues, must be somewhere in the black.


CHORUS:

E                     B7              A 
Im on the dark side, dark side of the blues.

E                                        B7
Im a dangerous man, with nothing left to lose.

          E            B7              E
Im on the dark side, dark side of the blues.

E                                  A
Now in this house children make no sound

E                        B7        E       
Joy and laughter will no longer be found.

E                                      A
And I don’t think I can pick myself up again,

E                     B7           E
Knowing Ive lost all I could ever win.

(Solo Break)

E                                        A
Now Im staring at cold blue steel in one hand,

        E                               B7              E
And the other holds her pretty picture and her wedding band.

E                                    A                   E
I suppose I could take my life, but it would not end my pain.

                                        
 E                                        B7         E
Id just be one more real bad thing with nothing to gain.
