[G]
You ask me if I'm happy now, that's good as any joke [D] I've heard.
It seems since I seen you last I done forgot the meaning [G] of the word.
If happiness is empty rooms and drinking in the afternoon, well I suppose I'm happy as [C] a clam.
But [D] if it's got a thing to do with smiling or forgetting you, well I don't guess that I could say [G] I am.
Did you ever see a down and out or waking up alone without a blanket on to keep him [D] from the dew?
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers he'd been putting in his shoes to keep the ground from [G] coming through.
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants because he's never seen a single [C] dream come true.
[D] That's the way that I've been feeling since the day I started falling from the bottle to the bottom stool by stool.
Learning hard to live [G] with losing you.
[D] [G]
You wonder if I'm better off with freedom now to do the [D] things I choose.
Well all my time's my own and I got nothing left but sleep [G] and time to lose.
There's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long, give a tanker's damn [C] if I don't call.
[D] I'm living like I wanted to and doing things I want to do and nothing means a thing to [G] me at all.
