Payin Hard

C


[Verse 1]
C
Heaven knows I've had me one hell of a time
C
But like the night gives way to the morning light
           F
There's a poundin' in my head again
         G                        C
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't tired


[Verse 2]
    C
And I can't help but think of Janie and those pretty eyes
C
Yeah, she was sweet as berries on a summer vine
          F
She had a heart of gold, we were burnin' coals
 G                         C
Hotter than a sidewalk in July


[Chorus]
        C
At the expense of my heart, Lord, I've cashed in my soul
C
Chose this old guitar before the only love I've known
        F
I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that
        G                                 C
When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah
    C                          G
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
               C
And I'm payin' hard


[Verse 3]
      C
Well, I've heard it said that moments come and then they pass
C
And it sure passed me by when I should've saw my dad
       F
But I plugged it in to another town
 G                                       C
Swore another chance would come around again
       F
But I plugged it in to another town
 G                                       C
Swore another chance would come around again


[Chorus]
     C
And now it's gone, that kinda gone that don't come back
C
I only see him now in dreams that I have
        F
I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that
        G                                 C
When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah
    C                          G
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
               C
And I'm payin' hard


[Chorus]
     C
So long, my friends, I guess this is my farewell
C
And damn all these pennies swimmin' in my wishin' well
      G
Told every single story that I had to tell
      F
I'll live with that, sleep with that
          G                              C
Make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
    C                          G
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
                 C
And I'm payin' hard


[Outro]
           F
And I'll live with that, sleep with that
          G                             C
Make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
      F
I'll live with that, sleep with that
                  G                             C
And I'll make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
