D                                              G
Well, it's said my life has been so free and easy
            A7                                   D
But I'll tell you now the story isn't so
                      D                                           G
'Cause I've spent a lot of time down on the corner
             A7                                              D
Tasting tears and spilling whiskey on the floor
               G                                           D
Such a shame that it's so hard for me to tell the truth to you
           F#m                                           A7
but by now you know the kind of man I am
                D                                             G
So don't turn your pretty face away from me, dear
                       A7                                        D
'Cause there's kids in this game don't understand

-Instrumental-
                   G                                                  D
One more night like this would put me six feet under
             F#m                                               A7
But my heart would still be fighting for your love
              D                                 G
Just remember little darlin' that I love you
                     A7                                             D
And kiss the cildren for me please, before you go

                 G                                             D
So don't play this crazy game with me no longer
               F#m                                A7
'Cause I won't be able to resist my rage
               D                                              G
And the gun that's hanging on the kitchen wall, dear
              A7                                                D
Is like a roadsign pinting straight to Satan's cage
              G                                               D
And the gun that's hanging on the kitchen wall, dear
              A7                                                  D
Is like a roadsign pointing straight to Satan's cage
