[Intro] A5 Asus4 Am x8 [Verse 1]
              Am   D6/9     Am7  D6/9     G    Am  D6/9     Am7  D6/9
I've been run down,              and I've been lied to,

G     Am         D6/9      Am7       D6/9       G    Am   D6/9      Am7
And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool

D6/9         G  Am    D6/9    Am7  D6/9       G   Am  D6/9    Am7   D6/9    G
She took all my money,             wrecked my new car

Am             D6/9      Am7       D6/9    G
Now she's with one of my good time buddies

Am               D6/9       Am7
Drinkin' in some cross town bar
[Chorus]
*           D7    **          E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,

               A           D7           D7/C
Like I've been tied to the whippin' post

A           D7            D7/C

   Good lord, I feel like I'm dying
[Instrumental] Am Am D6/9 Am7 D6/9 G x12 [Verse 2]
   Am             D6/9    Am7  D6/9   G   Am          D6/9    Am7  D6/9    G
My friends tell me              that I've been such a fool,

    Am        D6/9     Am7 D6/9   G         Am  D6/9       Am7       D6/9   G
And I have to stand by and take   it, baby, all       for loving you.

Am  D6/9         Am7      D6/9   G Am       D6/9         Am7        D6/9   G
    Drown myself in sorrow            and I look at what you've done,

    Am               D6/9        Am7       D6/9     G
But nothing seems to change, the bad times stay the same

Am    D6/9     Am7
And I can't go on
[Chorus]
*           D7    **          E7
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
