Intro: C G Fsus2(add9)

C G Fsus2(add9)
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
C G Fsus2(add9)
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
C G Fsus2(add9)
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
C G Fsus2(add9)
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

C G Fsus2(add9)
And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
C G Fsus2(add9)
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
C G Fsus2(add9)
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
C G Fsus2(add9)
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

Gsus4 Fsus2(add9)
And everybody wants to be special here
Gsus4 G7
They call your name out loud and clear

C Em Fsus2(add9)
Here comes a regular
C Em Fsus2(add9)
Call out your name

C Em Fsus2(add9)
Here comes a regular

Gsus4 Fsus2(add9)
Am I the only one here today?

C G Fsus2(add9)
Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
C G Fsus2(add9)
Once the police made you go away
C G Fsus2(add9)
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
C G Fsus2(add9)
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Gsus4 Fsus2(add9)
Everybody wants to be someone's here
Gsus4 G7
Someone's gonna show up, never fear

C Em Fsus2(add9)
'cause here comes a regular
C Em Fsus2(add9)
Call out your name

C Em Fsus2(add9)
Here comes a regular
Gsus4 Fsus2(add9)
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

[Brief instrumental: play intro chords with piano:]

C G Fsus2(add9) C G Fsus2(add9)

C G Fsus2(add9)
Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
C G Fsus2(add9)
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
C G Fsus2(add9)
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
C G Fsus2(add9)
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts
C G Fsus2(add9)
First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
C G Fsus2(add9)
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
C G Fsus2(add9)
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow

C G Fsus2(add9)
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
