Chords

[Verse 1]
D                    D7
I was pourin' out my troubles

G
To a stranger in the bar

D
'Bout the problems and the pressures

A
On a country music star

D                   D7
Half braggin', half complainin'

G
'Bout the money and the fame

D
And just how lonely life can be

A                           D
When you've made yourself a name
[Chorus]
G
I said, "Would you like a drink?"

D
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
                           A
Just listenin' to all your troubles"

G
"And while he makes that drink

D
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top
           A                   D   D7
But it's a bitch at the bottom"
G D A [Verse 2]
D                       D7
I left a hundred on the table

G
And didn't wait around for change

D
With my load a little lighter

       A
And my thinkin' rearranged

D                     D7
That stranger made me realize

G
How thankful I should be

D
And if I forget, I hope those words

         A               D  D7
He said, come back to me
[Chorus]
G
I said, "Would you like a drink?"

D
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
                           A
Just listenin' to all your troubles"

G
"And while he makes that drink

D
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top
           A                   D
But it's a bitch at the bottom"

D
It might be lonely at the top

           A                  D
But it's a bitch at the bottom
G D
