[Intro] G [Verse 1]
    G
You ask me if I'm happy now 

                             D
That's good as any joke I've heard
It seems since I've seen you last
                                 G
I done forgot the meaning of the word

   G
If happiness is empty rooms 'n drinkin' in the afternoon

                              C
Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam

    D
But if it's got a thing to do with smilin' or forgettin' you

                                       G
Well, I don't guess that I could say I am
[Chorus]
N.C.    G
Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone

                                          D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
                                                              G
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
                                            C
Because he's never seen a single dream come true

           D
That's the way that I've been feelin'
Since the day I started fallin' From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
                                  G
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
[Interlude] D G [Verse 2]
    G
You wonder if I'm better off with freedom 

                       D
Now to do the things I choose
Well, all my time's my own and I got nothin' left
                     G
But sleepin' time to lose

        G
There's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long

                                   C
'n give a tinker's damn if I don't call

    D
I'm livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do

                                   G
And nothin' means a thing to me at all
[Chorus]
N.C.    G
Did you ever see a down and outer wakin' up alone

                                          D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
                                                                G
He's been a-puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
                                            C
Because he's never seen a single dream come true

           D
That's the way that I've been feelin'
Since the day I started fallin' From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
                                  G
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
[Outro] D G
