D
And it's a hard life

               A
For a man with no wife

            Bm          G
Babe it's a hard life

              D
God makes you live

D
But without it

      A
Don't doubt it

               Bm     G
You don't even have

              D
Your tears to give
[Verse 1]
D
I wake up and I'm fine

                       Em
With my dreaming still on my mind

                  G
But it don't take long you see

                  D
For the demons to come and visit me

D
And I've got my problems

                     Em
Sometimes love don't solve them

               G F# G
And I end each day

      D
In a song
[Chorus]

And it's a hard life

               A
For a man with no wife

            Bm        G
Lord it's a hard life

             D
God makes you live
But without it
            A
Baby don't doubt it

               Bm     G
You don't even have

              D
Your tears to give
[Verse 2]
D
And oh I'm a hard man

             Em
To live with sometimes

               G
Maybe it ain't in me

              D
To make you a happy wife of mine
And maybe you'll kill me
              Em
Honey I don't blame you

             G   F#  G
If I was in your place

                  D
Maybe that's what I would do
[Bridge]
Cm                    Bb
But I ain't breathing, Let me breath

Cm         Bb
Let me go, Let me leave

Gm               Cm
I don't know but I might lose

Eb              F
I might bump my head to blow a fuse

Cm        Eb Bb
So let me go

Cm   Eb Bb
Lay down

Cm    Eb Bb
On my own

Cm        Eb Bb
Let me drown

Cm           Eb
Let me go

                    F
Go where you don't know
[Outro] Bb F Gm Eb Bb x2
