Poud Souls

A               E 
I got drunk by myself last night 
     F#m                D 
they say it's no way to make things right 
A                  D                  E   FILL 
I just didn't have anything better to do. 
A                         E                  
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and 
  F#m                  D  
I watched a show about crime and drugs, 
A                    E                    A  
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through. 
A                 E   
I don't care that I can't sleep 
    F#m               D 
I'd just as soon stay up all week 
A                       D                 E  FILL   
I might get some things done while others dream. 
A                        E 
The heater broke and the room got cold 
       F#m                  D    
and my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older 
A                 E                      A 
the phone finally rang but it wasn't for me 
 

C#m             D 
If everyone was together 
        A               E 
I guess no one would be alone 
A               D                 E  FILL     
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end. 
C#m              D 
Somewhere in the fields of heather 
A                         D 
The proud souls laugh and love together 
A                 E                  A 
somewhere between passion and losing friends  
 
A                        E                
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone 
   F#m                      D      
my head was next to the telephone 
A                D                     E   FILL 
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades. 
A                        E     
The one thing that seems always true 
     F#m               D 
when I'm hung over the sky is blue. 
A                 E                        A 
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day 
A                       E 
I believe in ghosts and democracy 
         F#m                       D 
and that each man should leave his legacy 
A                 D              E    FILL 
be that mans work great or be it small. 
A                  E    
I don't believe in everything like 
    F#m                       D 
The designated hitter or that diamond rings 
A                      E                A 
will make love last forever for one and all.
