Capo 2


G  D  Em  C  G  C  D  twice

G  D  Em  C  G  D  G  C-G

G                D
I got drunk by myself last night
     Em                 C
They say it's no way to make things right
G                  C                  D
I just didn't have anything better to do
G                         D
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
  Em                   C
I watched a show about crime and drugs
G                    D                    G
Finished a bottle of bourbon until it was through


G                 D
I don't care that I can't sleep
          Em                C
Cause I'd just as soon stay up all week
G                       D                 C
I might get some things done while others dream
G                        D
The heater broke and the room got cold
       Em                       C
And my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
G                 D                      G
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me


Chorus
   Bm             C
If everyone was together
        G                   C
I guess no one would be alone
Em              C                 G
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
Bm               C
Somewhere in the fields of heather
    G                          C
The proud souls laugh and they love together
G                 D                  G
Somewhere between passion and losing friends


Solo

G                        D
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
   Em                   C
My head was next to the telephone
G                C                     D
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades
G                    D
One thing that seems always true
           E                      C
Thats when I'm hung over well the sky is blue
  G                  D                     G
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
        G                     D
And I believe in ghosts and democracy
         Em                        C
And that each man should leave his legacy
G                 C              G
Be that mans work great or be it small
  G                D
I don't believe in everything like
    Em                        C
The designated hitter or that diamond rings
G                      D                  G
Will make love last forever for one and all


Chorus
Cause if everyone should be together
Why are so many left alone
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end
Somewhere in the fields of heather
The proud souls laugh and they love together
Somewhere between passion and losing friends

G                 D                  G
Somewhere between passion and losing friends
