Travis plays this in open tuning but I've tabbed this for standard tuning

Capo 1

G                           D
I need to clean up this old house
G                          D 
I need to take the garbage out
G                           Bm
My boys coming over for the weekend
                A     
I can't wait to see him

G                        D
We'll order out watch cartoons
G                                   D
Build a big 'ole fort in the living room
G                     Bm
He's only eight years old
         A
He don't know


Chorus:
       D            D/F#
I stay home a lot, alone a lot
      G                                 D     A 
And I try to turn the lights off around ten o'clock
D                   D/F#
I read some, hit my knees some
G                                Asus4 A 
I don't what to do with all this free--dom
    Bm          Bm/A              G
The TV keeps me company when he's gone
    G               A    D  A  G
I'm learning how to live a-l-ooone


My old friends don't come around
We all choose sides when the ship goes down
I outgrew my reputation
I'm on vacation

Ain't had a drink in seven months
To tell the truth, I ain't wanted one
The holidays got pretty rough, though
I came so close

Chorus

D            D/F# 
Every night, might be just what I need
  G                                  A   
I think this whole thing will wind up being good for me

Chorus 2:
I sleep good, eatin' pretty good
And I'm doin' better than I thought I ever would
I read some, try to hit my knees some
And I pay my health a little more attention
At this point it don't matter who was wrong

     Bm               Bm/A          G
It's time for growin' up and movin' on
    G               A    D  A  G
And learning how to live a-l-ooone
