It's gettin' harder every day just to try to make my way
D D A A
I swear I don't know how most folks make it through
D D G D
Well my parents raised me well, Lord knows I created my own hell
D A D D
But I just don't know what else I'm supposed to do
D D G D
Yes I can't concentrate on a lifestyle that I hate
D D A A
Just livin' on the nickel and tryin' to settle down
D D G D
So instead I hit the booze, I guess I'm just born to lose
D A D D
I swear to Christ, I do this every time
G G D D
It's one more round, bartender, one more round
D D A A
Keep settin' 'em up boy, so I can keep a-knockin' 'em down
D D G G
I know this goddamn sickened world has got me down
D A D D
They can't beat a man, they'll go just one more round
D D G D
Well all day I sit at home, waiting for my friends to call
D D A A
And when they do, I can't even answer the phone
D D G D
Smokin' weed to numb the pain, drinkin' whiskey till I go insane
D A D D
Oh Lord, it's getting rough down here alone
D D G D
But when the times are too damn hard, they all know meet down at the bar
D D A A
And just like me, their weakness is their sin
D D G D
And then the bartender says: "Gee, tell me what's it gonna be"
D A D D
I say: "Mac, set 'em up, oh here we go again"
G G D D
It's one more round, bartender, one more round
D D A A
Keep settin' 'em up boy, so I can keep a-knockin' 'em down
D D G G
I know this goddamn sickened world has got me down
D A D D
They can't beat a man, they'll go just one more round
