(D major)
Verse 1
Buy (D major) one up and you
toss one down
(C major) Everybody knows you've
(D major) been downtown
Been downtown late last night
Bus (C major) ted your (D major) head in a barroom fight
Fightin' with your brother,
fightin' with your wife
Seems you've been fightin'
every day of your life
You can't stand still, still can't run
You (C major) put it all (D major) together,
but it come undone (G major) (C major)
(D major) (C major) (D major)
Your soul is junk, your brain is dust
(C major) All of your memories are
eaten up with (D major) rust
Your nightmares real, dreams too stark
You (C major) love the night, but you hate the dark
Your (D major) mother, your daddy,
your little sister, too
Told (C major) you a secret they were
counting on you
You were (D major) dying to tell,
but your dad said,
(C major) button your lip,
but it come un (D major) done (G major) (A minor)
Undone, (D major) undone (C major)
(D major)
So they turned you out
when you turned them in
They (C major) told you, don't come back again
(D major) Now the years stack up
like old beer cans
(C major) Dead -end jobs with payment plans
(D major) Broke -down trucks, welfare checks
Child (C major) support, backseat (D major) sex
You'd kill yourself but
you hocked your gun
Built (C major) a noose but it come un (D major) done
(G major) Undone (C major)
(D major)
Undone
(C major) Undone (D major)
(G major) (A major) (D major)
(C major) (F major)
So you're (D major) living in a shack,
but you want to be rich
And (C major) you would if it wasn't
for the (D major) son of a bitch
Son of a bitch, dirty old whore
The (C major) butcher, the baker, the grocery store
(D major) You hate them, they hate you
What (C major) in the world are you gonna do?
(D major) It ain't your fault, but they need someone
to (C major) blame it on
when they come un (D major) done
(G major) Undone (C major)
Undone (D major)
(C major) Undone (D major)
Now the storm's coming in,
the skies turn black
It's (C major) too late now,
you can't turn (D major) back
Lightning strikes on
the telephone wire
You're (C major) drunk as a skunk,
your shack's on (D major) fire
Wife took the baby and the other two kids
The (C major) dogs are a -howlin'
and your chickens are (D major) dead
Put your last night out
and you're gonna have fun
Read (C major) it in the papers when you
come un (D major) done (G major)
Undone (C major) (D major)
Undone (C major)
Undone (D major) (C major)
Undone
Time (D major) and (C major) time (D major) (C major) (D major)
(G major)
(D major) (C major)
(D major) you
