Chords

[Intro] A E A [Verse]
      A
I was pourin' out my troubles

      D
To a stranger in the bar

      A
About the problems and the pressures

      E
On a country music star

     A
Half braggin', half complainin'

         D
bout the money and the fame

A
And just how lonely life can be

           E                A
When you've made yourself a name
[Chorus]
       D
I said would you like a drink

        A
He said thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
                         E
just listening to all your troubles

    D
And while he makes that drink

     A
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top,
           E            A
but its a bitch at the bottom
[Interlude] A E A [Verse]
         A
I left a hundred on the table

           D
and didn't wait around for change

         A
with my load a little lighter

        E
and my thinking rearranged

     A
That stranger made me realize

    D
how thankful I should be

     A
And if I forget I hope those words

    E                A
he said come back to me
[Chorus]
        D
I said would you like a drink

         A
He said thanks, I'll have a double
I've worked up a powerful thirst
                         E
just listening to all your troubles

    D
And while he makes that drink

     A
I'll smoke one if you got 'em
It might be lonely at the top,
          E             A
but its a bitch at the bottom
It might be lonely at the top,
          E            A     
but its a bitch at the bottom
[Outro] E A
