1. I had another drink after another drink,

D

and then I tried to crawl to the door,

I had another smoke after another joke,

D7 G

and then I couldn’t take any more.

G

It didn’t change a thing, not any single thing,

C

when someone tried to tell me for sure,

G D

I heard another voice that said I wasn’t in a dream,

G D

I read a word or two about everything,

G D

I never knew the way that it oughta have been,

C D G C D G

they never told me a thing about it, I never did know a thing about it.

C G

And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won’t go away,

C G

and the times that I tried are the times that I find they don’t show today,

F C F G

but you make me feel so good. + C - G

D

and waiting to be carried away,

I woke up once again a little after ten,
