Capo 3rd Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (Em) (G)

Well the (Em) life we've been given and the (G) way we've been livin'
That's the (B7) song that we write 'til we (Em) die
Now some people write songs on livi(G)n' just right
But I write (B7) mine on just getting (Em) by

 I'll (G) go on a whim, start writing the hymn
 That sounds so (Em) sweet
 But the (G) troubles and the sin of the world that we're in
 Knock me back (Em) off my feet

   I gotta get (C) sober
   I gotta start (G) livin' right
   I don't (D) know how it's gonna go
   But it ain't gonna happen tonight
   So pour 'em down str(Em)ong
   'Til I (G) drown
   And if (D) I wake up tomorrow
   When that sun comes back around
   I'll be wishing I was (Em) sober

Well the liquor and the bowl, they'vе been saving my soul
From the pain that the world's put on me
Lord, I know that upstairs there's an old man who cares
And one day he'll set me free

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

(G) (Em) (G)

Well the (Em) life we've been given and the (G) way we've been livin'
That's the (B7) song that we write 'til we (Em) die
