Coal
Am - G - F (2x)
Am
G F
1. Well, I remember what you told me, you said
drinking was unholy,
Am
G F
so,
Lord, can you point me to the creek.
Am
G
F
And I still keep it with me,
tucked under all the memories,
Am G F
your
voice echoing throughout those trees.
+ Am - G - F (2x)
Am
G F
2. And through unfavored weather, and holes in
the leather,
Am
G F
these
boots still covered in tar.
Am G F
I'm still praying to the
heavens, and hoping for them sevens,
Am
G F
but
hope only gets a man so far.
Am G
F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Am G F
love
is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am G F
I'll carry that about
everywhere I go.
Am G F
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how, the hell, am I still coal ?
+ Am - G - F (2x)
Am
G F
2. I've seen Heaven without dying, met the Devil without trying,
Am G
F
and
they both seem to wanna talk to me.
Am
G F
But I'm all out of luck now,
and my dreams aren't worth a buck now,
Am
G F
it's
tough tryna land on my feet.
+ CHORUS
Am G
F
+ And every day it's getting
colder since that day in October,
Am
G F
when
you told me it was over, so I left.
Am
G
F
'Cause if you need me, well, I
told ya I'm on the better side of sober,
Am G
F
tryna find a four leaf clover, get me out of this
mess.
Am G F
This game of life plays heavy
on my heart and
Am G F
love
is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am G F
I'll carry that about
everywhere I go.
Am G F
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how, the hell …
Am G F
This game of life plays heavy
on my heart and
Am G F
love
is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am G F
I'll carry that about
everywhere I go.
Am G F
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how, the hell, am I still coal ?
