I was pouring out my troubles [D] to a stranger in a bar
[A] About the problems and the pressures
[E] on a country music star
[A] Half bragging, half complaining [D] about the money and the fame
[A] And just how lonely life can be [E] when you've made yourself [A] a name
[D] I said, would you like a drink?
[Bm] He [A] said, thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst just listening to all [E] your troubles
[D] And while he makes that drink,
[A] I'll smoke one if you got it
It might be lonely at the top, but [E] it's a bitch [A] at the bottom
I
[D] [E]
[A]
left a hundred on the table and [D] didn't wait around for [Bm] [D] change
[A] Put my load a little lighter [E] and my thinking rearranged
[A] That stranger made me [Am] realize [D] how thankful I should be
[A] And if I forget, I'll hope those words [E] he said come back [A] to me
I [D] said, would you like a drink?
He [A] said, thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst just listening to all your [E] troubles
And
[D] while he makes that drink, [A] I'll smoke one if you got it
It might be lonely at the top, but it's [E] a bitch at the [A] bottom
