Am C G D
Am C G D
This song is sung for anyone that's listening
Am C G D
This song is for the broken-spirited man
Am C G D
This song is for anyone left standing
Am C G D (pick D chord)
After the strain of a slow sad end
(5) --3---2---0
It seems everybody wants what someone else has
And there's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
All around's a world grown mean
(chorus)
E C
Well we've all had
E C
Our ups and downs
E C E
It's been mostly down around here
(5) --0--0 H2--2--2 H3--3--3 P2--2--0
Am C G D
Now this whole damn mess should be becoming quite clear
G G/F# Em D
Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'
Am C G D
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
G G/F# Em D
We're all looking for a life worth livin'
Am C G D
That's why we pray for our souls to keep
There's nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man's broken will to care
And in the end before all is said and done
How many others might follow him there
(same chords as chorus)
But midnight is coming round
It's still mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear
Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
We're all looking for a life worth livin'
That's why we pray for our souls to keep
