[Intro]
A E A
[Verse]
A
I was pourin' out my troubles
D
To a stranger in the bar
A
About the problems and the pressures
E
On a country music star
A
Half braggin', half complainin'
D
bout the money and the fame
A
And just how lonely life can be
E A
When you've made yourself a name
[Chorus]
D
I said would you like a drink
A
He said thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
E
just listening to all your troubles
D
And while he makes that drink
A
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top,
E A
but its a bitch at the bottom
[Interlude]
A E A
[Verse]
A
I left a hundred on the table
D
and didn't wait around for change
A
with my load a little lighter
E
and my thinking rearranged
A
That stranger made me realize
D
how thankful I should be
A
And if I forget I hope those words
E A
he said come back to me
[Chorus]
D
I said would you like a drink
A
He said thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
E
just listening to all your troubles
D
And while he makes that drink
A
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top,
E A
but its a bitch at the bottom
It might be lonely at the top,
E A
but its a bitch at the bottom
[Outro]
E A
