[Intro]
Em  Am  C  D  Em  D
[Verse 1]
EmI’ve been down to the bottom of a bottle
AmI’ve lived my life stuck in full throttle
And Dslowin’ down, slowin’ down keeps grindin’ my EmgearsD  
EmAnd I took risks I never shoulda taken
AmI broke hearts that didn’t need breakin’
And I Cdon’t know why, Ddon’t know why I can’t cry EmtearsD  
[Chorus]
And I Gjust can’t seem to walk the line
It’s Dalways been easy to say goodbye
When I’m Amalways runnin’
Ain’t Cnothin’ gonna change my Dmind
And I Gjust can’t seem to get a clue
I Dnever seem to think things through
It’s AmT-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the Cfight
With the Dfool inside of EmmeD  
[Verse 2]
EmToo many times I’ve had to learn the hard way
AmMade mistakes but tomorrow’s a new day
I’ve Dbeen there, done that, I ain’t lookin’ backEm  D  
EmYeah and I lost track with man in the mirror
AmBut a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
And I Cdon’t know why, Ddon’t know why but I’ve got Emit badD  
[Chorus]
And I Gjust can’t seem to walk the line
It’s Dalways been easy to say goodbye
When I’m Amalways runnin’
Ain’t Cnothin’ gonna change my Dmind
And I Gjust can’t seem to get a clue
I Dnever seem to think things through
It’s AmT-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the Cfight
With the Dfool inside of EmmeD

And Gwhen I’m about to get things straight
The Dfool in me takes a swing
He Amalways seems to find a way to
CTurn me Dupside Emdown…Dyeah yeah

And I Gjust can’t seem to walk the line
It’s Dalways been easy to say goodbye

[Intro]

Em Am C D Em D

[Verse 1]

I’ve been down to the bottom of a bottle

I’ve lived my life stuck in full throttle

D Em D

And slowin’ down, slowin’ down keeps grindin’ my gears

And I took risks I never shoulda taken

I broke hearts that didn’t need breakin’

C D Em D

And I don’t know why, don’t know why I can’t cry tears

[Chorus]

And I just can’t seem to walk the line

It’s always been easy to say goodbye

When I’m always runnin’

C D

Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind

And I just can’t seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

Am C

It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight

D Em D

With the fool inside of me

[Verse 2]

Too many times I’ve had to learn the hard way

Made mistakes but tomorrow’s a new day

D Em D

I’ve been there, done that, I ain’t lookin’ back

Yeah and I lost track with man in the mirror

But a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer

C D Em D

And I don’t know why, don’t know why but I’ve got it bad

[Chorus]

And I just can’t seem to walk the line

It’s always been easy to say goodbye

When I’m always runnin’

C D

Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind

And I just can’t seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

Am C

It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight

D Em D

With the fool inside of me

[Bridge]

And when I’m about to get things straight

The fool in me takes a swing

He always seems to find a way to

C D Em D

Turn me upside down…yeah yeah

[Solo]

Em Am C D Em D

[Chorus]

And I just can’t seem to walk the line

It’s always been easy to say goodbye

When I’m always runnin’

C D

Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind

And I just can’t seem to get a clue

I never seem to think things through

Am C

It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight

D Em D

With the fool inside of me

[Outro]

Yeah fightin’ the fool

Am D Em

Fightin’ the fool inside of me
