(Capo on 4)

(Intro.)
|(Am) / (G) / |(F) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(F) / /

(Verse 1)
Well, I re-(Am)member what you (G)told me, you said (F)drinking was unholy
So (Am)Lord, can you (G)point me to the (F)creek
And I (Am)still keep it (G)with me, tucked (F)under all the memories
Your (Am)voice echo-(G)ing throughout those (F) trees
 
(Solo)
|(Am) / (G) / |(F) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(F) / /

(Verse 2)
And through (Am)unfavored (G)weather, and (F)holes in the leather
These (Am)boots still (G)covered in tar (F)
I'm still (Am)praying to the (G)heavens, and (F)hoping for them sevens
But (Am)hope only (G)gets a man so (F) far
 
(Chorus)
(Am) This game of (G)life plays (F)heavy on my heart and
(Am) Love is (G)tough but loneli-(F)ness is twice as hard and
(Am) I'll carry (G)that about (F)everywhere I go
And they say (Am)pressure makes (G)diamonds, how the (F)hell am I still coal?
 
(Solo)
|(Am) / (G) / |(F) / / / |(Am) / (G) / |(F) / /
 
(Verse 3)
I've seen (Am)Heaven without (G)dying, met the (F)Devil without trying
And they (Am)both seem to (G)wanna talk to (F)me
But I'm (Am)all out of (G)luck now, and my (F)dreams aren't worth a buck now
It's (Am)tough tryna (G)land on my (F) feet
 
(Chorus)
(Am) This game of (G)life plays heavy on my (F)heart and
(Am) Love is (G)tough but loneli-(F)ness is twice as hard and
(Am) I'll carry (G)that about (F)everywhere I go
And they say (Am)pressure makes (G)diamonds, how the (F)hell am I still coal?
 
(Bridge)
And every (Am)day it's getting (G)colder since that (F)day in October
When you (Am)told me it was (G)over so I (F)left
'Cause if you need me, well I (D)told ya I'm on the (F)better side of sober
Tryna (Am)find a four leaf (G)clover get me (F)out of this mess
 
(Chorus)
(Am) This game of (G)life plays (F)heavy on my heart and
(Am) Love is (G)tough but loneli-(F)ness is twice as hard and
(Am) I'll carry (G)that about (F)everywhere I go
And they say (Am)pressure makes (G)diamonds, how the (F)hell …
(Am) This game of (G)life plays (F)heavy on my heart and
(Am) Love is (G)tough but loneli-(F)ness is twice as hard and
(Am) I'll carry (G)that about (F)everywhere I go
And they say (Am)pressure makes (G)diamonds, how the (F)hell am I still coal? - - - - -
