[Verse]
D
Lately things ain't been going my way
     G
Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day
     A
It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down
          D
So I been making that all go round
         D
Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind
         G
Seems to work alright 'till closing time
        A
But you know you're gunna come down every night
          D
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
G
Ain't that hard to figure where to begin
     D
It's Friday night so I'm rushing in
       E                           A    A7
Like a fool I get it anywhere I can


[Chorus]
D                          D7
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G                          G7
Seeing two of every single neon sign,  Well now
D                       B7
You'll find me downtown   Gracefully facedown
     E               A          D
Just wishing I could feel alright

[Verse]
D
Lately I've been wanderin' around with eyes closed
   G
It seems like I been heading down the wrong road
A
 I thought I'd find my way by now
      D
But I still got lost somehow
        D
You see shots fall down from Heaven above,
          G
You might lose a friend you might fall in love,
        A
But you know you're gunna come down every night,
          D
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied
G
Six in the morning 'till your dying day,
     D
It's straight bad news and bills to pay,
         E                                 A     A7
But come five o'clock you're feeling good again


[Chorus]
D                          D7
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G                          G7
Seeing two of every single neon sign,  Well now
D                       B7
You'll find me downtown   Gracefully facedown
     E               A          D
Just wishing I could feel alright

[Verse]
       D
Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground,
    G
Sat up on the floor seems the room spin around,
             A
But when you squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle,
       D
Things really don't look so bad.
            D
You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 oz bottle
G
 Hit some bourbon, (smoke 'em) if you've got 'em,**
        A
But you know you're gunna come down every night,
          D
And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied,
    G
The years of my life I don't remember at all,
     D
Like one Friday evening I can barely recall,
         E                                       A    A7
It was a sick situation in a bar room bathroom stall


[Chorus]
D                          D7
Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line
G                          G7
Seeing two of every single neon sign,  Well now
D                       B7
You'll find me downtown   Gracefully facedown
     E               A          D     B7
Just wishing I could feel alright
         E               A          D     B7
Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright
         E               A          D     B7
Yea, I'm wishing I could feel alright

**TDM3 sing the line "Hit the bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em" -
But I prefer my slight alteration. ;)

I'm a big fan of accurate, legible, and neatly formatted charts that are
typically true to studio versions, with noted exceptions.
