THE COMPANY I KEEP

Intro:
Cadd9, G

G D Cadd9 G
My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck
Cadd9 G
Your dumber than dogshit is what my Daddy said

Cadd9 G Cadd9
I was just thirteen when they showed me the door
G D Cadd9 G
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more
G D Cadd9 G
My first wife told me, you need to get a life
Cadd9 G
My third wife told me to get another wife
Cadd9 G Cadd9
I brought a bottle and the van's parked right outside the door
G D Cadd9 G
So come on darling, if you want to be number 4


Cadd9 G
Sometimes I feel like shit
Cadd9 D
Sometimes it ain't half of it
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep
G D Cadd9 G
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep


G D Cadd9 G
Ain't held down no job since 1984
Cadd9 G
I get by holding up convenience stores
Cadd9 G Cadd9
I get by on liquor, guns and luck
G D Cadd9 G
But I'm scared to death which one might run out first
G D Cadd9 G
I seen my past in everything that I despise
Cadd9 G
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes
Cadd9 G Cadd9
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears
Cadd9 D G Cadd9
Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears
