Intro/Verses/Chorus:
A - Asus2 - Asus4 - A

Verse 1:
---------------------------------------------
A Asus2
Blue collar Eddie and his better half Deloris
Asus4 A
Used to be mantle pieces down at the black forest
A Asus2
And I don�t know if that bar still exists
Asus4 A
But when it did so did they a couple bleeding heart kids
A Asus2
Everything volatile, every night rocker style
Asus4 A
Hop a stool be discreet and just watch a while
A Asus2
But do your best to keep the level observational
Asus4 A
Drama is attractive so push it when it takes a pull
B F# D
And each nights are random, when you�ve paid a ransom
A*
For the right sing along with them drinkin� anthems
B F# D A*
And these fools paid so many dues that everybody stops to salute
A Asus2
Well one night after another fight,
Asus4 A
A couple from an opposite table offered an invite
A Asus2
Deloris didn�t want to join �em wasn�t feelin� social
Asus4 A
But Eddie was so aggravated that he had to poke holes
A Asus2
He walked over sat in the dialogue
Asus4 A
And called at Deloris like some kind of dog (hey hey hey hey girl come here)
A Asus2
She can�t believe it she�s done she�s had it
Asus4 A
But she doesn�t want to make another scene in this establishment
B F# D A*
She got up and mozied over, and put her arm up around Eddie�s shoulder
B F#
Nobody�s sober, the song is the same,
D A*
Sometimes you stick out your chin to catch the rain

Chorus: (Same as verses)
---------------------------------------------
You can be winner you can be a loser
Gotta wake up when you here the rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time come

Verse 2:
---------------------------------------------
The clock keeps drinkin�, they keep tickin�
There�s two more people who get to play positions
Samantha and Chuck not a couple just roommates
Out having too many shots on a Tuesday
Who knew they�d be tools for the duo
Put a little bit of fire on the fuel
It�s a kinda blue intentions ain�t cruel
But everybody�s so ready to bend up the rules
Now there�s chuck staring at Deloris,
Eddie is distracted by Samantha so he doesn�t notice
And everybody�s too fucked up
To even assess the mess, much less care enough
More whiskey, a pitcher of premium,
Eddie�s gettin� tipsy he didn�t see it commin�
On his way back from a visit with that urinal,
Tryin� to straitin� out his thoughts and the vertigo
Weaves through stops when he seen �em
Picture perfect, it looked just like freedom
Deloris on chucks lap kissin� em hard,
Eddie dipped into the winter, left them all at the bar
Sometimes you gotta follow what�s felt inside,
Between the power struggles and selfish pride
No one is allowed to cry unfair
�Cause now they both get to drink alone somewhere

Chorus x2

Chorus 2:
B F#
You can be winner you can be a loser
D A*
Gotta wake up when you here the rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time come
