I'm just asking you [G] to listen, [C] not to [G] understand, these confessions [D]
of a [G] broken man.
[C] I don't know where my [G] story starts, or I'd go back to [C] then.
All I know [G] is it's a sad, sad tale, and so far it has no end.
I [D] know I drank too much, though I didn't there at first.
Oh, I'd [C] have a beer or two, and it just [G] seemed to go from bad to worse.
[C] Then [G] one day I noticed my money was going out faster than it was coming in,
[D] and I got scared, [G] and I started gambling, and I'm the kind that just never [C] seems to win.
[G] I had a woman, [C] guess every man does, [G] and every man thinks his is the best.
Mine was, stuck by me through thick and thin, [D] till it just got too thin, I guess.
[C] She walked in one day [G] and said she had to leave me.
[C] I could have sworn [G] I saw a big tear in her eye.
I heard the other day [D] that she'd got married again.
[G] I hope he treats you better tonight.
[C] Well, if you're getting the idea that [G] I'm some kind of a bum, [C] you're catching on pretty fast.
[G]
And if you're wondering if I've turned into a wino, well, these are [D] all my fingerprints on this glass.
[C] I've been sitting here in this bar [G] since they opened up this morning, [C] and it's almost time to close [G] tonight.
I guess it's about time to go find me a [D] gutter, tuck myself [G] in for the night.
Where does a man go when [C] he's already on the bottom?
[G] There's really not much choice he's [C] got.
He either picks [G] himself up and tries again, or just lays back down to [D] rot.
No life [G] starts out to be like mine.
Pain is never plain.
And yet, here I sit [D] with nothing in the world but [F] these confessions of a [G] broken man.
I'm just [C]
asking you [G] to listen.
