Intro: Am, G, Am, F, Am, G, Am, F,

Am                            G
He was warmin his hands with a hot coffee cup                         
 Am                G                     Am                       G
Pourin in whiskey as I walked up he never blinked an eye
            F                 Am                    G
He just asked for a light, I noticed he didn't have soles on his shoes
Am                           G
So I pulled out a twenty said go buy some food
Am                G                  F
But he just stared at his cup like I wasn't there
C                         G
Then he looked at me said son that's nice
C                            G
But there's some things money can't buy,

(chorus)
          C                     G
I want my life back, I want that house that I called home,
          Am                 G       F             G
I want that job I worked for 22 years before I gotlaidoff           
            C                 G                                           F
I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me
        G             F    G             Am
And that man I used to be,      I want my life back


I walked through the door and sat down at the bar

Had a shot and a beer lit up a cigar it ran through my head,

Every word that old man said

I had a woman that loved me with all of her heart

But my pride and my temper made it all fall apart

I was to headstrong to admit when I was wrong

It's been 6 months since she moved out

Guess my pride aint helping me now

(chorus 2)

I want my life back, I want that house that I called home,

I want to hear her voice and see her face every day when I get off

I want what I had when I laid down in the arms of the woman that believed in me

And that man I used to be, I want my life back

(bridge)
Dm                        F
I paid my tab and left that bar
Dm                          F
Grabbed my phone jumped in my car
Dm                                   F       G
I dialed her number and when she said hello I said

chorus
G                 Am
I want my life back
