[Intro]
Am C  D   E  Am
[Verse 1]
AmWell I'm thinking bout you as I'm worried bout me
I'm just a Creal small fish in this great big sea
the sDun comes up there ain't Eno telling where I may Ambe.
the clock is ticking momma so now you gotta move
my sCouls already dammed so I already lose,
but I'm Dwinning here with you by my sEide so girl we gotta chAmoose.
[Chorus]
Ya know not oCne of us, aDsked to be born aAmnyway.
I guess it's tCoo damn bad but the goDod lord wants it that Amway.
You always gCotta be you, you gotta geDt out of that bed everAmyday.
I know it ain't no fun, but it's a gEame that we all gotta pAmlay.
[Verse 2]
AmAnother day on the road, with whiskey in that bottle,
when I tChink of what I done it makes my soul feel hollow
in a cDheap motel, with a Ehandful of pills I can sAmwallow.
Well I ain't complaining bout the choices I made
dont feel Csorry for yourself, that's what my daddy used to say
I'd rather sDleep in this bed that I mEade, than end up in a gAmrave.
[Chorus]
and not here oCne of us, asDked to be born aAmnyway.
I guess it's tCoo damn bad but the goDod lord wants it that Amway.
You always gCotta be you, you gotta geDt out of that bed everyAmday.
I know it ain't no fun, but it's a gEame that we all gotta pAmlay.
[Verse 3]
AmWell my end will come girl and so will yours
till tChen I'll do my best not to follow the hoard,
keep dDoing what I want, and igEnoring that beat on the Amdoor.
Its like a tug a war match between satan and God
I dont wCanna go to hell what other choice do I got
I gotta Dhold on tight, as I gEet pulled into the sAmmog.
[Chorus]
and not here oCne of us, asDked to be born aAmnyway.
I guess it's tCoo damn bad it's a gaDme that we all gotta Amplay.
You always gCotta be you, you gotta geDt out of that bed everyAmday.
I know it ain't no fun, but the gEood lord wants it that Amway.
[Outro]
AmI know it ain't no fun, but the gEood lord wants it that wAmay.
I know it ain't no fun, but the gEood lord wants it that wAmay.

[Intro]

Am C D E Am

[Verse 1]

Well I'm thinking bout you as I'm worried bout me

I'm just a real small fish in this great big sea

D E Am

the sun comes up there ain't no telling where I may be.

the clock is ticking momma so now you gotta move

my souls already dammed so I already lose,

D E Am

but I'm winning here with you by my side so girl we gotta choose.

[Chorus]

C D Am

Ya know not one of us, asked to be born anyway.

You always gotta be you, you gotta get out of that bed everyday.

E Am

I know it ain't no fun, but it's a game that we all gotta play.

[Verse 2]

Another day on the road, with whiskey in that bottle,

when I think of what I done it makes my soul feel hollow

D E Am

in a cheap motel, with a handful of pills I can swallow.

Well I ain't complaining bout the choices I made

dont feel sorry for yourself, that's what my daddy used to say

D E Am

I'd rather sleep in this bed that I made, than end up in a grave.

[Chorus]

C D Am

and not here one of us, asked to be born anyway.

I know it ain't no fun, but it's a game that we all gotta play.

[Verse 3]

Well my end will come girl and so will yours

till then I'll do my best not to follow the hoard,

D E Am

keep doing what I want, and ignoring that beat on the door.

Its like a tug a war match between satan and God

I dont wanna go to hell what other choice do I got

D E Am

I gotta hold on tight, as I get pulled into the smog.

[Chorus]

C D Am

and not here one of us, asked to be born anyway.
