C
[Verse 1]
C
Heaven knows I've had me one hell of a time
C
But like the night gives way to the morning light
F
There's a poundin' in my head again
GC
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't tired
[Verse 2]
C
And I can't help but think of Janie and those pretty eyes
C
Yeah, she was sweet as berries on a summer vine
F
She had a heart of gold, we were burnin' coals
GC
Hotter than a sidewalk in July
[Chorus]
C
At the expense of my heart, Lord, I've cashed in my soul
C
Chose this old guitar before the only love I've known
F
I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that
GC
When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah
CG
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
C
And I'm payin' hard
[Verse 3]
C
Well, I've heard it said that moments come and then they pass
C
And it sure passed me by when I should've saw my dad
F
But I plugged it in to another town
GC
Swore another chance would come around again
F
But I plugged it in to another town
GC
Swore another chance would come around again
[Chorus]
C
And now it's gone, that kinda gone that don't come back
C
I only see him now in dreams that I have
F
I gotta live with that, lose sleep with that
GC
When I close my eyes, I'll die with that, yeah
CG
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
C
And I'm payin' hard
[Chorus]
C
So long, my friends, I guess this is my farewell
C
And damn all these pennies swimmin' in my wishin' well
G
Told every single story that I had to tell
F
I'll live with that, sleep with that
GC
Make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
CG
My life's a credit card, play now, pay later
C
And I'm payin' hard
[Outro]
F
And I'll live with that, sleep with that
GC
Make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
F
I'll live with that, sleep with that
GC
And I'll make my peace, and I'll die with that, yeah
