[Verse 1]
Em                          B7
   Did you say it was black tie?

Em                         B7
   I lost a button, but it fits just fine

Em                D
   Remind me what time

Em                        B7
   Do you kids still high five?

Em                                  B7
   Cool Dad is fun, Cool Dad's your favorite guy!

Em
   Watch me on the floor
[Chorus 1]
G           D           B7      Em
   Ball and Chain, what would I be

                C             D       G
   Without this weight that's pullin' me?

            D       B7     Em
   Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C
   Don't ask me
[Verse 2]
Em                         B7
   So I'm givin' you these keys

Em                             B7
   Ten minutes more, no matter what I say

Em                     D
   Then the Irish good-bye

Em                   B7
   The seat's up too far

Em                                  B7
   Back roads I'm spinning with the starry sky

Em
   Pour me out at home
[Chorus 2]
G           D           B7      Em
   Ball and Chain, what would I be

                C             D       G
   Without this weight that's pullin' me?

            D       B7     Em
   Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C        Em
   Don't ask me

Em                      B7
   I'm a little bit sur-prised

Em                           B7
   I sleep for 50 years, and you're still here

Am              D
   Takin' up my side

Em                      B7
   And the sun moves so fast

Em                                B7
   Too fast to see, too bright to look too long

Em
   I open up my eyes
[Chorus 3]
G           D           B7      Em
   Ball and Chain, what would I be

                C             D       G
   Without this weight that's pullin' me?

            D       B7     Em
   Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C        Em
   Don't ask me
Dont ask me
C        Em
   Don't ask me
