Intro:

Am G F (x2)


Verse :
     Am       G
Well I remember what you told me
   F
Said drinking was unholy
  Am      G        F
So Lord can you point me to the creek

    Am      G
And I still keep it with me
    F
Tucked under all the memories
   Am    G           F
Your voice echoing throughout those trees



Instrumental:
Am G F
Am G F




Verse :
      Am     G
And through unfavored weather
   F
And holes in the leather
    Am     G     F
These boots still covered in tar

        Am       G
Well I'm still praying to the heavens
   F
And hoping for them sevens
   Am    G     F
But hope only gets a man so far


Chorus:
   Am       G     F
When, this game of life plays heavy on my heart
  Am     G        F
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
  Am     G     F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
       Am       G        F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?


Instrumental:
Am G F
Am G F




Verse :
        Am       G
Now I’ve seen heaven without dying
     F
Met the devil without trying
     Am      G      F
And they both seem to wanna talk to me

    Am     G
But I’m all outta luck now
    F
And my dreams aren’t worth a buck
     Am
How it’s tough
    G    F
Tryna land on my feet


Chorus:
   Am       G     F
When, this game of life plays heavy on my heart
  Am     G        F
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
  Am     G     F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
       Am       G        F          F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?




Verse :
     Am        G
And everyday it's getting colder
      F
Since that day in October
     Am      G
When you told me it was over
   F
So I left

        Am       G
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya
      F
I'm on the better side of sober
    Am        G
Tryna find a four leaf clover
    F
Get me out of this mess


Chorus:
F Am       G     F
  This game of life plays heavy on my heart
  Am     G        F
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
  Am      G     F
And  I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
       Am       G        F F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell


Chorus:

And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
  Am     G     F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
       Am       G        F
And they say pressure makes diamonds how the hell am I still coal?
