[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
Bm G E
Life is not kind to the drinking man,
A A7 G A
Life is not kind to creaking bones,
Bm G E
Deeper down slips the sinking man,
A A7 G D
Drinking to find his way back home.
[Verse 1]
E7 G D
The line you tread was never straight or leading anywhere,
E7 G A
time was spent down in the dust or trying to tread the air,
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm A7 D
And all those promises of youth they've long since soaked the floor,
Bm F#m Bm F#m G Em A
Spilling drinks and tables as you try to find the door,
G Em Asus2 A
You try to find the door.
[Chorus]
Bm G E
For Life is not kind to the drinking man,
A A7 G A
Life is not kind to creaking bones,
Bm G E
Deeper down slips the sinking man,
A A7 G D
Drinking to find his way back home.
[Verse 2]
E7 G D
And each and every morning's crack of thunder splits your head,
E7 G A
Wishing you could lose yourself or maybe wake up dead,
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm A7 D
And outside in the playground you see the children playing ball,
Bm F#m Bm F#m G Em A
Once you too could run those rings but now you barely crawl,
G Em Asus2 A
Now you barely crawl.
[Chorus]
Bm G E
For Life is not kind to the drinking man,
A A7 G A
Life is not kind to creaking bones,
Bm G E
Deeper down slips the sinking man,
A A7 G D
Drinking to find his way back home.
[Verse 3]
E7 G D
But there is warmth and kindness in a tumbler swiftly drained,
E7 G A
And who's to say no problems solved off lash if truth is gained,
Bm F#m Bm F#m Bm A D
There's a time in every day where the balance hangs just right,
Bm F#m Bm F#m G E A
When your toungue may tease the mysteries of the deep and darkest night,
