_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, [C#] I _ remember what [B] you told [A] me, said drinking was _ unholy.
[C#] So Lord, can [B] you point me [A] to the creek? _ _ _ _
[C#m] And I still [B] keep it with me, [A] tucked under all the memories,
_ [C#] your voice _ [B] echoing throughout [A] those _ _ trees.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] And through _ [B] unfavored weather and [A] _ holes in the leather,
[C#m] these _ boots [B] still covered [A] in tar. _ _ _
Well, [C#] I'm still praying to [B] the [F#] heavens
[A] and hoping for them [C#m] sevens.
But hope [B] only gets a man [A] so _ far.
_ [C#m] _
_ _ This [B] game of life _
[A] lays heavy on my [C#m] heart.
And _ love is [B] tough, but [A] loneliness swipes it [C#m] hard.
And _ I'll [B] carry that [A] belt everywhere _ I go.
And [C#m] they say pressure [G#m] makes diamonds.
[A] How the hell am I still cold?

_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] I've seen heaven without [B] dying, [C#m] [A] met the devil _ without trying.
[C#m] And they both [B] seem to want to [A] talk to me.
_ _ _ _ [C#] But I'm all [B] out of luck [F#] now, [A] and my dreams aren't worth a buck.
[C#m] Now it's tough [B] trying to land on [A] my _ feet.
_ [C#m] _ _ This game [B] of life [A] lays heavy on my heart.
[C#m] And _ love [B] is tough, but [A] loneliness _ swipes it [C#m] hard.
And _ I'll [B] carry that [A] belt everywhere I go.
[C#m] And they say pressure [B] makes diamonds.
[C#m] How [A] the hell am I still cold? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] And [C#m] every day it's [B] getting colder [A] since that day in _ October
[C#m] when you told me it [B] was over.
So [A] I left. _ _ _ _
[C#m] Said you need me.
[B] Well, I told you I'm [A] on the better side of sober,
[G#m]
trying [C#m] to find a four [B]-leaf clover to [A] get me out of this [C#m] mess.
_ _ This game [B] of [C#m] life [A] lays heavy on my heart.

[A] How the hell? _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ _ [C#m] _ This game [B] of life [A] lays heavy on my [C#m] heart.
