              C                     F
We drove all night to Billings, Montana
          G                      C G
Flew into Utah, slept there all day
               C                  F
And I can’t remember stopping in Denver
         G
Yeah, I live my illusion that somebody needs
        C
me to play

Chorus:
                    C                       F
And sometimes I’m drunk and sometimes I’m stoned
               G               C
And yes I get tired of being alone
    C                            F
And I miss my son and I miss my wife
         G                              C
But the devil named music is taking my life

Now I sold my soul a long time ago
I put it in a six string and a sad melody
And I’m sometimes a winner, most times a loser
If the crowd gets into it,
it’ll all feel the same way to me

Chorus:
Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my daughter
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my son
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
And yes, I get tired of being alone
I miss my daughter
I miss my wife
But the devil named music is taking my life

But the devil named music is taking my life
