E                    B7
Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' 
         A             A/G   A/F#  E  
And I've done a lot of hard, hard livin'
E                      B7
Livin' on the road and seein' how it goes 
  A           A/G A/F# E
I grew up fast and it shows 

[Chorus]
      B7                      A         E  
Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong 
    B7                           A                E 
And drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home 
         E
And it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough 
       B7                    E
Oh I'm doin' the best that I can

[Solo]
E B7 A A/G A/F# E x2 

[Verse 2]
         E                     B7
Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' 
         A      A/G      A/F#  E
And I've had my share of good women
  E                       B7
I once had a good home, a wife to call my own
    A            A/G     A/F#  E
But now I'm here drunk and alone

[Chorus]
      B7                      A         E  
Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong 
    B7                           A                E 
And drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home 
         E
And it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough 
       B7                    A   A/G A/F#  E
Oh I'm doin' the best that I can
