[Verse]
Em C G I've been sitting here crying since long before the day be-gan D Am C With my pockets full of nothing but broken dreams and my head in my empty hands Em C G The winnings that I thought I had and come so far to get D C G Are further away then they've ever been, they've been taken by anoth-er man
[Verse]
Em C G I wouldn't take a train for home even if I could D Am C Cause they've been saving their joy for the hometown boy who went away to make it good Em C G I bet they cleared away the parlour so my Ma can dance me in the door D Am C And the old man can wink, and pour me a drink and ask me what the tears are for
[Chorus]
B7 C G It's harder to try a-gain than it was to be-gin D C G A man can play a lone hand in a high stakes game, but it doesn't mean he's gonna win B7 C G And somehow I've got to keep from getting further down D C G Before I buy myself a bottle of cheap escape, and a ticket to anoth-er town
[Verse]
Em C G I know I'm not crying 'cause I think I've had it mighty tough D Am C I did my best with all the rest, but it just wasn't good e-nough Em C G And I've been working and training too long just to make it here D Am C To merely swallow my pride and walk outside and come back anoth-er year
[Alt Chorus]
B7 C G It's harder to try a-gain than it was to be-gin D C G A man can play a lone hand in a high stakes game, but it doesn't mean he's gonna win B7 C G And somehow I've got to keep from getting further down D Am C Before I buy myself a bottle of cheap escape, and a ticket to anoth-er town Am C G I want to drown in the grape and make my escape, on a ticket to anoth-er town
