CAPO: 1st FRET
 
[Intro]
B B Fm7 Fm7 B C7 B B
 
 
[Verse]
BI've been mad
 
I've been drunk
Fm7I've been so high I can't tell up from down
 
B7But lately I've been working
C7 B BOn trying to get my feet back on the ground
 
 
[Verse]
BIt ain't easy on the wagon
Fm7Hell I lost more of my mind than I have found
 
B7All these drinking songs we're playing
C7 B B7Make it hard staying sober in this town
 
 
[Verse]
BI'd take a paycheck and I'd turn it
Fm7To a sack of weed and I'd burn it straight to hell
 
B7I'd drink a beer joint dry
C7 B BAnd then the next day I'm right back at the well
 
BIf the body is a temple
Fm7I worked hard to keep the steeple spinning 'round
 
B7Then one day I heard the preacher say
C7 B BLord it's hard staying sober in this town
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
B B Fm7 Fm7 B7 C7 B B
B B Fm7 Fm7 B7 C7 B B
 
 
[Verse]
BLord I pray for the courage
Fm7To greet the hardened faces with a smile
 
B7They don't notice any difference
C7 B BBut then again I guess forgiveness just takes a while
 
BWould you believe He'd give a sinner
 
Like me amazing grace
Fm7How sweet that sound
 
B7But it's been hell crossing over
C7 B BIt's so hard staying sober in this town
 
 
 
[Outro]
F#m7And the hardest part ain't over
FIt's so hard staying sober
BIn this town
