Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                    E7
 I kissed the kids at noon

                      Am
 And stumbled out the room

                     D
 I caught a cab, ran up a tab on Seventh and Flower

Am                        E7
 Beth's recital, I had to run

                       Am
 Missed my son's graduation

                             D
 Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat

                             Am
 He gets all that anger from me
[Pre-Chorus]
                            E7
 Still things could be much worse

              Am
 Natural disasters

                D
 On the evening news

Am                          E7
 Still things could be much worse

                     Am
 We've still got our health

                    D    F
 My paycheck in the mail
[Chorus]
                  C        G
 I promised to my wife and children

F                  C              G         F
 I'd never touch another drink as long as I live

                   C         G
 But even then, it sounds so soothing

F
 This will blow over in time
N.C. This will all blow over in time [Instrumental] Am E7 Am D Am E7 Am D [Verse 2]
Am                  E7
 I'm just an honest man

                    Am
 Provide for me and mine

                   D                            Am
 I give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations

                    E7
 Two weeks paid vacation

                       Am
 Won't heal the damage done

                D
 I need another one
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                          E7
 Still things could be much worse

              Am
 Natural disasters

                D
 On the evening news

Am                          E7
 Still things could be much worse

                     Am
 We've still got our health

                    D    F
 My paycheck in the mail
[Chorus]
                  C        G
 I promised to my wife and children

F                  C              G         F
 I'd never touch another drink as long as I live

                   C         G
 But even then, it sounds so soothing

F                 C           G   F
 To mix a gin and sink into oblivion

                  C        G
 I promised to my wife and children

F                   C          G            F
 That accident left everyone a little shook up

                       C       G
 But at the meetings I felt so empty

F
 This will blow over in time
N.C. This will all blow over in time [Outro] Am E (x4) Am E Am D (x6)
