 G#        A#
Sick this life
Gm             G#
Now that you'd care
            A#           D#
I'm not the only one with
Whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands
quite why we're here
We're searching for
answers that never appear

Maybe if I looked real hard,
I'd, I'd see you trying, too
To understand this life that
we're all going through

"Then when she said she was
going to, like, wreck my car
I didn't know what to do"

Chorus:
 G#                        D#
Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
    G#                          D#
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
G#                          D#
I'd like to think that our love's
Worth a tad more
    G#                  A#
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
         F   G G#
I'd be smilin'
                           D#
I guess somethings never change
Never change

I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me

Chorus

         Cm                          F
   I ain't quite what you'd call and old soul
       Gm                F
   Still wet behind the ears
           Cm                  F
   I been around this track a couple o'times
              G#                     A#
   But now the dust is starting to clear
   Oh, yeah!

Chorus
