[Intro] F Dm G Am Am/B Am/C Am/D Am F Dm G Am G [Verse 1]
    Am
Oh, life is 8-ball

Em
  It's bigger than school

                    Am
And school ain't for me.

                        Em
The lengths that I will go to,

                              Am
To ditch class and shoot some stick

Em                     Dm
   Oh God, I drank too much,

         G
But rack 'em up.
[Chorus]
                 Am
That's me in the Vortex,

                 Em
That's me in the basement

                  Am
Losing pool to Stenger

          Em
Trying to aim that cue.

      Am
And I don't know if I can do it.

Em                     Dm
   Oh God, I drank too much,

                G
But rack 'em up.
[Bridge]
                        F
I can't win, I'm always scratching,

  Dm           G          Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I can't win, I sunk the 8                    Damnit

F              Dm G  Am     G
Now I owe John forty-five
[Verse 2]
      Am                       Em
Every Wednesday, every quarter beer night

                    Am
I'm drinking aiming fluid,

          Em
Trying to up my game

       Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

Em                    Dm
   Oh no, I drank too much,

             G
But rack 'em up.
[Verse 3]
         Am
Consider this, he'll never miss,

Em
Stenger's a mystery,

               Am
He'll bank the two, the six

Em
Chalk his lucky cue and slay.

Am
Winning is a fantasy

    Em
I'm    flailing around?

      Dm             G
And I drank      too much.
[Bridge]
                        F
I can't win, I'm always scratching,

  Dm           G          Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I can't win, I sunk the 8                    Damnit

F              Dm G  Am     G
Now I owe John sixty-five

It was just a dream.
[Chorus]
                 Am
That's me at the Cedar,

                 Em
That's me at the Starlight

                 Am
Losing pool to Stenger.

          Em
Trying to aim that cue

      Am                         Em
And I don't know if I can do it.

F             Dm   G
It was just a dream,

  Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D   Am
I try, cry,   why,   try.

F                   Dm  G      Am            G
It was just a dream,    just a dream, just a dream, dream.
