CAPO: 1st FRET
 
[Intro]
E E F#7 F#7 A B7 E E
 
 
[Verse]
EI've been mad
 
I've been drunk
F#7I've been so high I can't tell up from down
 
A7But lately I've been working
B7 E EOn trying to get my feet back on the ground
 
 
[Verse]
EIt ain't easy on the wagon
F#7Hell I lost more of my mind than I have found
 
A7All these drinking songs we're playing
B7 E E7Make it hard staying sober in this town
 
 
[Verse]
EI'd take a paycheck and I'd turn it
F#7To a sack of weed and I'd burn it straight to hell
 
A7I'd drink a beer joint dry
B7 E EAnd then the next day I'm right back at the well
 
EIf the body is a temple
F#7I worked hard to keep the steeple spinning 'round
 
A7Then one day I heard the preacher say
B7 E ELord it's hard staying sober in this town
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]
E E F#7 F#7 A7 B7 E E
E E F#7 F#7 A7 B7 E E
 
 
[Verse]
ELord I pray for the courage
F#7To greet the hardened faces with a smile
 
A7They don't notice any difference
B7 E EBut then again I guess forgiveness just takes a while
 
EWould you believe He'd give a sinner
 
Like me amazing grace
F#7How sweet that sound
 
A7But it's been hell crossing over
B7 E EIt's so hard staying sober in this town
 
 
 
[Outro]
F#m7And the hardest part ain't over
FIt's so hard staying sober
EIn this town
