Capo 2
GI can't always stand by myCadd9self, but lord knows I've trieGd.Cadd9  
GI ain't as tough as I seem somCadd9etimes, as much as i figGht.Cadd9  
Tonight I'm leaDnin on the bottle, with a bCadd9ible in my hand,
and kneeDling like you taught me by this eCadd9mpty kingsize bDed.
(chorus)
But sometimes I prGay, but not like I wCadd9ould, if you were hGere.Cadd9  
Sometimes I drGink a little more than I sCadd9hould, to fight back the teGars.Cadd9  
When I'm holDdin on to my last breath and I'm drEm7owning in that drop thats left, and he Cadd9knows, I
don't know what to say, sometimes I pGray.
(Verse 2)
GWell I've him the blame, for my Cadd9pain, time after tiGme.Cadd9  
GAnd I've walked a fine line, betCadd9ween hell, and playing with fGire.Cadd9  
and I woDnder why he listens as i stCadd9umble for words,
 but that reDd and white gets cleCadd9arer with every single veDrse,
(chorus)
But sometimes I prGay, but not like I wCadd9ould, if you were hGere.Cadd9  
Sometimes I drGink a little more than I sCadd9hould, to fight back the teGars.Cadd9  
When I'm holDdin on to my last breath and I'm drEm7owning in that drop thats left, and he Cadd9knows, I
don't know what to say, sometimes I pGray.
sometimes I pGray but not like i Cadd9would if mama was hGere,Cadd9  
Sometimes I dGrink a little more than I sCadd9hould, to fight back the tGears.Cadd9  
When I'm hoDldin on to my last breath and I'm drEm7owning in that drop thats left, and he Cadd9knows,
