Verse 1
G 
 (G major) You ask me if I'm happy now
D 
That's good as any joke I've  (D major) heard
It seems that since I've seen
you last
G 
I done forgot the meaning of the  (G major) words
If happiness is empty rooms
and drinkin' in the afternoon
C 
Well, I suppose I'm happy as a  (C major) clam
D 
But  (D major) if it's got a thing to do with
smilin' or forgettin' you
Well, I don't guess
G 
that I could say I  (G major) am

Verse 2
G 
Did you ever see a down and outer  (G major) 
waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep
D 
him from the  (D major) dew?
When the water from the weeds
has soaked the papers
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the
G 
ground from comin'  (G major) through
And his future feels as empty as
the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen
C 
a single dream come  (C major) true
D 
That's the  (D major) way that I've been feelin'
since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom
stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with
G 
losin'  (G major) you
D 
 (D major)

Verse 3
G 
 (G major) 
You wonder if I'm better off
With freedom now to do the
D 
things I  (D major) choose
Well, all my times my own and
I got nothin' left but sleepin'
G 
time to  (G major) lose
There's no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
C 
Or give a tankerous damn if I don't  (C major) call
D 
I'm  (D major) livin' like I wanted to
And doin' things I want to do
G 
And nothin' means a thing to me  (G major) at all

Verse 4
G 
Did you ever see a down and outer  (G major) 
waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep
D 
him from the  (D major) dew?
When the water from the weeds
has soaked the papers
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the
G 
ground from comin'  (G major) through
And his future feels as empty as
the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen
C 
a single dream come  (C major) true
D 
That's the  (D major) way that I've been feelin'
since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom
stool by stool
G 
Learnin' hard to live with losin'  (G major) you
D
