[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][G][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]You
might say the reason
I was put on this earth
Was to [F]pour out my heart every [C]day[G]
It's [C]just what comes natural
Like takin' a breath
I could [F]sing what I [Ab]never could [C]say
I [Am]put

[Verse 2]
quite a few tears into
[F]quite a few [C]beers
Yes, [Am]I've worn my soul on my [C]sleeve
Laid [Am]out there for the whole
world to see
[G]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, the [F]blues have been
My old boss [C]man
And [D]lovesick it knows me by [G]name
You could [C]say I was lonesome
[G]for a [C]livin'[Am]
And [C]heartache is [G]my claim
to [C]fame

[Verse 4]

I [C]lived all the lyrics
For better or for worse
The [F]drinkin', the cheatin' and the lyin'

Just how I talked it
[F]Both eyes wide [Ab]open but stone [C]blind

[Verse 5]
I wonder [Am]how many angels
Are [F]waitin' for [C]me
To [Am]finally fall down on my [C]knees
And [G]then [Am]put me back up on my [G]feet

[Verse 6]
Lord, the [F]blues have been
My old boss [C]man
And [D]lovesick it knows me [G]by name
You could [C]say I was lonesome

And [C]heartache [G]is my claim to fame
