Verse 1:
---------------------------------------------
ABlue collar Eddie and hAmis better half Deloris
Asus4Used to be mantle pieces Adown at the black forest
AAnd I don’t know if that Ambar still exists
Asus4But when it did so did they a Acouple bleeding heart kids
AEverything volatile, evAmery night rocker style
Asus4Hop a stool be discreAet and just watch a while
ABut do your best to keep thAme level observational
Asus4Drama is attractive so pAush it when it takes a pull
BAnd each nights are raF#ndom, when you’ve paid a ransoDm
A*
For the right sing along with them drinkin’ anthems
B F# D A*
And these fools paid so many dues that everybody stops to salute
AWell one night after anoAmther fight,
Asus4A couple from an opposite table Aoffered an invite
ADeloris didn’t want to join ‘em Amwasn’t feelin’ social
Asus4But Eddie was so aggravated tAhat he had to poke holes
AHe walked over saAmt in the dialogue
Asus4And called at Deloris like some kinAd of dog (hey hey hey hey girl come here)
AShe can’t believe it Amshe’s done she’s had it
Asus4But she doesn’t want to make another Ascene in this establishment
B F# D A*
She got up and mozied over, and put her arm up around Eddie’s shoulder
BNobody’s sober, tF#he song is the same,
D A*
Sometimes you stick out your chin to catch the rain
Chorus: (Same as verses)
---------------------------------------------
You can be winner you can be a loser
Gotta wake up when you here the rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time come
Verse 2:
---------------------------------------------
The clock keeps drinkin’, they keep tickin’
There’s two more people who get to play positions
Samantha and Chuck not a couple just roommates
Out having too many shots on a Tuesday
Who knew they’d be tools for the duo
Put a little bit of fire on the fuel
It’s a kinda blue intentions ain’t cruel
But everybody’s so ready to bend up the rules
Now there’s chuck staring at Deloris,
Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesn’t notice
And everybody’s too fucked up
To even assess the mess, much less care enough
More whiskey, a pitcher of premium,
Eddie’s gettin’ tipsy he didn’t see it commin’
On his way back from a visit with that urinal,
Tryin’ to straitin’ out his thoughts and the vertigo
Weaves through stops when he seen ‘em
Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom
Deloris on chucks lap kissin’ em hard,
Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar
Sometimes you gotta follow what’s felt inside,
Between the power struggles and selfish pride
No one is allowed to cry unfair
‘Cause now they both get to drink alone somewhere
Chorus x2
Chorus 2:
BYou can be winneF#r you can be a loser
D A*
Gotta wake up when you here the rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time come
