Verse 1
G
I been sleepin' in my car
C
Been movin' fast but it seems I ain't gone far
D G
And I can't believe oh what I am and what I used to be
Verse 2
G
I'm barely a man and living hard
C
My father killed himself and my mother hit the bar
D G
Well ain't it funny, ain't it funny how the world'll set you free
Chorus
D C
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D C
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
Am D
And my face don't look right without a frown
C D G
Well if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
Verse 3
G
I been stealin' all my meals
C
I been gettin' by every time the well runs dry
D G
I tell myself if it don't k**l me then I guess I'll never die
Verse 4
G
Well I been actin' like a mule
C
Cause I'd rather hear you laugh than be here with my mind
D G
and all my thoughts, well I guess I'll always be the laughin' fool
Chorus
D C
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D C
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
Am D
And my face don't look right without a frown
C D G
Well if you can't swim, you better learn to drown

Verse 5
G
Well I thought about closin' the door
C
And endin' it all like my father did before
D G
But it ain't worth all the people who won't see me anymore
Verse 6
G
Well there ain't much that lasts too long
C
All the rights that I took wrong all the lefts that still ain't gone
D G
They will be here, here in my sad bastard song
Chorus
D C
I spent my whole life wonderin' why I'm down
D C
I don't feel easy if the blues don't come around
Am D
And my face don't look right without a frown
C D G
Well if you can't swim, you better learn to drown
