On The Rocks

Am              E
I ain’t no scholar, I don’t write no books
         C                   E                                Am
I done spend my money on the last girl honey and she hates my guts
               E                          C
I paid my rent late, so my landlord’s angry
                         E                           Am
And all this shit keeps piling up and tryin’ to hang me

Am               E                                  C
I give my lovin’ on the run (on the run, on the run)
                    E                            Am
So don’t you try to slow me down and walk around yeah
                   E                          C
Sick of tryin’ to strum along, wit’ yo’ love song
                     E                        Am
So leave me here to pour another drink on the rocks


[Hook]

Am                E
All of this will hold you
               C                                  E
Down onto the ground until you’re crawlin’ on the gravel
                Am
Like a regular guy
                     E                       C
Oh all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
                               E                       Am
Until you’re drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye


[Verse 2]

Am              E                      C
I ain’t got no savior, I ain’t got no time

I know I’m stuck with a problem
          E                                   Am
That will come through and swallow up my last dime
          E                         C
All I wanted, was some peace and quiet
                   E                        Am
To take me out of here, before I start a riot
           E                  C
Lost my reason I done lost my way, I done sat here for hours
      E                                   Am
And heard all the songs that the jukebox plays
                   E
So keep your sunny days away from here
     C                    E                        Am
And I’ll pour the liquor down and smile while I say

Am                  E
Life’s been on the rocks, I’ve taken
C                E
My last shot at holding on to
Am                  E
Life’s been on the rocks, I’ve taken
C                E
My last shot at holding on to


[Hook]

Am                E
All of this will hold you
               C                                  E
Down onto the ground until you’re crawlin’ on the gravel
                Am
Like a regular guy
                     E                       C
All, all of this will hold you, down onto the ground
                               E                       Am
Until you’re drowning in your sorrows with a bottle of rye

Am                E
All of this will hold you
               C                                  E
Down onto the ground until you’re crawlin’ on the gravel
                Am
Like a regular guy
