Song

G6add11 320010
* = one strum

Intro

Am G6add11 F (2x)

Verse 1

Well, I remember what you told me, you said drinking was unholy
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
And I still keep it with me, tucked under all the memories
Am* G6add11* F*
Your voice echoing throughout those trees

Interlude

Am G6add11 F (2x)

Verse 2

And through unfavored weather, and holes in the leather
These boots still covered in tar
I'm still praying to the heavens, and hoping for them sevens
But hope only gets a man so far

Chorus

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am* G6add11* F*
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?

Interlude

Am G6add11 F (2x)

Verse 3

I've seen Heaven without dying, met the Devil without trying
And they both seem to wanna talk to me
But I'm all out of luck now, and my dreams aren't worth a buck now
It's tough tryna land on my feet

Chorus

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am* G6add11* F*
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?

Bridge

And every day it's getting colder since that day in October
When you told me it was over so I left
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya I'm on the better side of sober
Am* G6add11* F*
Tryna find a four leaf clover get me out of this mess

Chorus

Am* G6add11* F*
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Am* G6add11* F*
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
Am* G6add11* F*
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am* G6add11* F
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell …
This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that about everywhere I go
Am N.C. G6add11 N.C. F N.C.
And they say pressure makes diamonds, how the hell am I still coal?
