Capo 5th fret, standard tuning.

C                           E7
    Things seem so opposite
                Am
More and more
         G
Everyday

C                                 E7
    I'm asleep when I'm wide awake
             Am
And the sun shines
             G
When it rains

C
    Feels like I'm lying when
      E7
I'm telling the truth
          Am
And it hurts
           G
How it pains

                 C
When they ask how I'm doing
                E7
And i just smile in reply
         Am
I say "Thanks
      G
I'm okay"

            C
I'm just    stumblin'
            E7                           Am
I'm just    drunk again
                              G
It's not my fault anyway

               C
Just some    song I wrote
               E7                        Am
Just some    heart I broke
                           G
Another ball and chain

C                        E7
    My father put down his guitar
             Am
And he spoke
          G
His refrain

             C                                               E7
He said "You can write songs 'till you're blue in the face
             Am
But son nothin's
            G
Gonna change"

         C                                   E7
And I think of that now as I'm writing this down
               Am
trying to catch
         G
Your gaze

                 C                                     E7
With some pretty words, wrapped in metaphors
                     Am
Hoping I can leave you
         G
On a page

                  C
Take what's      killing me,
                  E7                          Am
Light it with      kerosene,
                      G
Turn and walk away

                C
May each       verse I write
                E7                            Am
Be my last     compromise
                                G
To simply numb the pain

              C                 E7        Am
Because you know as well as I do
                  F        G    C
That these things will fade


**Guitar 1 Solo** C   E7  Am  G (2x)

C                                   E7
    I know a woman who lives alone
      Am
In a house
                G
Down the way

                    C
Who wears a beautiful gown
          E7
And a thorny crown
                 Am                       G
And hangs paintings without frames

      C
She waters her plants
                       E7                                    Am
And feeds her shepard dog that's locked up
             G
With no name

                 C
And every now and again
                  E7
Something falls and breaks
        Am                        G
And darkness leads the way

                         C
'Cause when her    husband died
                         E7                           Am
There was no          blinding light
                      G
Just an empty grave

              C
Now her       hallowed god
              E7                                      Am
Is just a        calloused fraud
                             G
And no one's ever saved

C                                           E7
    Sometimes I hear her sing songs so true
            Am
They remind me
       G
Of a place

        C
That I've never been
            E7                                       Am
But her voice captures me, and I'm forced
         G
To retrace

       C
The steps to her door
            E7                                 Am
Where I hide and listen, 'till her dog barks
              G
From its cage

              C
And she straightens up,
          E7                      Am
Looks right at me, and demands
                G
In a wispy way

              C
She says              "Who are you?"
                      E7                                 Am
"What are you      going to do?"
                                        G
"Come out and show your face"

         C
I said        "Ma'm I've tried
         E7                                              Am
My en---tire life
                                    G
To try and answer that phrase

      C        E7     Am
But if you sing another song,
                   F
I think we'd be
G   C
O-kay

(Let ring)
        C                   E7     Am
And should we all die tomorrow
                  F
At least we had
G    C
To-day
