INTRO : G Dsus/F# Em7 Cadd9 D
VERSE 1:
G
I keep on laughing to keep from crying
Cadd9 G
I keep on dreaming to keep from dying
D
I keep on trying
Cadd9
Ain't gonna stop
G Dsus/F# Em7
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel
(Cadd9) G
And then you float back on top
VERSE 2: same as verse 1
We all know someone who's always hurtin'
The sun is shining they draw the curtain
One thing for certain
The pain ain't gonna stop
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
BRIDGE:
C7 G C7 D G
You know the grass is always greener in someone else's yard
Em A D
And the world is so much meaner when your heart is hard
I go out walking in any season
It could be rainin' it could be freezin'
I don't need no reason
It's just so pleasing I can't stop
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
On the G chords in the verses, ("I keep on laughin'") a quick hammeron/pulloff of
the D string makes it sound more authentic.
The CAdd9 at the end of each verse ("Ain't gonna stop") can be played with the
