GSlowly I Cfall with the Grain & the future looks Cgrim once Dagain 
EmBottles and Cpills GI´m up on the Dhills 
CStuck with a Dball and a Gchain 
GThis city is Cso obsoGlete the drunks they fuck Cup on the Dstreets 
EmBut that´s the way it Cgoes when you´re Gdown in VästerDås 
CSick of life Dain´t that a Gtreat 
EmStraight out of nowhere  Cit´s coming on fast 
GI sit here and wonder how Dlong will it last 
CSome of my Dbest friends are Emgone 
And the Cothers don´t Gknow where they Dbelong 
EmSo light up the sky the beat must go on 
CRaise my glass for the black river song 
GAnd drink all my Cproblems Daway 
CTomorrow is Djust another Gday 
GLonely & Chammered at Gnight and true love is Cway out of Dsight 
EmA broke working Cclass will Gshove it up your Dass 
CBut I know it won´t Dmake it Galright 
EmStraight out of nowhere Cit´s coming on fast 
GI sit here and wonder how Dlong will it last 
CSome of my Dbest friends are Emgone 
And the Cothers don´t Gknow where they Dbelong 
EmSo light up the sky the beat must go on 
CRaise my glass for the black river song 
GAnd drink all my Cproblems Daway 
CTomorrow is Djust another Gday 
GLet the punishment Cfinally Gbegin for a life I Ctraded for Dsin 
EmYeah,I sure paid the Ccost for a Glove that I Dlost 
CStrung out with a Dbottle of GGin 
EmSo light up the sky the beat must go on 
CRaise my glass for the black river song 
GAnd drink all my Cproblems Daway 
CTomorrow is Djust another Gday
