E|-------|E|-----------|- 

A                      Am
Blue collar Eddie and his better 
half Deloris
Asus4                    A
Used to be mantle pieces down at the
 black forest
A                        Am
And I don’t know if that bar still 
exists
Asus4                        A
But when it did so did they a couple
 bleeding heart kids
A                      Am
Everything volatile, every night 
rocker style
Asus4                A
Hop a stool be discreet and just 
watch a while
A                          Am
But do your best to keep the level 
observational
Asus4                   A
Drama is attractive so push it when 
it takes a pull
B                     F#         
And each nights are random, when 
                   D
you’ve paid a ransom
                     A*
For the right sing along with them 
drinkin’ anthems
B                F#              
And these fools paid so many dues
     D                      A*
 that everybody stops to salute
Continúa después del anuncio
A                       Am
Well one night after another fight,
Asus4                          A
A couple from an opposite table 
offered an invite
A                               
Deloris didn’t want to join ‘em 
Am
wasn’t feelin’ social
Asus4                        A
But Eddie was so aggravated that he 
had to poke holes
A                Am
He walked over sat in the dialogue
Asus4                              
And called at Deloris like some kind
A
 of dog (hey hey hey hey girl come 
here)
A                    Am
She can’t believe it she’s done 
she’s had it
Asus4                             
But she doesn’t want to make 
  A
another scene in this establishment
B                F#              
She got up and mozied over, and 
     D                   A*
put her arm up around Eddie’s 
shoulder
B                F#
Nobody’s sober, the song is the 
same,
D                                
Sometimes you stick out your chin to
A*
 catch the rain

Chorus: (Same as verses)
E|-----------|E|-----------|E|----

E|-------|E|-----------|- 

You can be winner you can be a loser
Gotta wake up when you here the 
rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to 
live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time
 come

Verse 2:
E|-----------|E|-----------|E|----

E|-------|E|-----------|- 

The clock keeps drinkin’, they keep 
tickin’
There’s two more people who get to 
play positions
Samantha and Chuck not a couple just
 roommates
Out having too many shots on a 
Tuesday
Who knew they’d be tools for the duo
Put a little bit of fire on the fuel
It’s a kinda blue intentions ain’t 
cruel
But everybody’s so ready to bend up 
the rules
Now there’s chuck staring at 
Deloris,
Eddie is distracted by Samantha so 
he doesn’t notice
And everybody’s too fucked up
To even assess the mess, much less 
care enough
More whiskey, a pitcher of premium,
Eddie’s gettin’ tipsy he didn’t see 
it commin’
On his way back from a visit with 
that urinal,
Tryin’ to straitin’ out his thoughts
 and the vertigo
Weaves through stops when he seen 
‘em
Picture perfect, it looked just like
 freedom
Deloris on chucks lap kissin’ em 
hard,
Eddie dipped into the winter, left 
them all at the bar
Sometimes you gotta follow what’s 
felt inside,
Between the power struggles and 
selfish pride
No one is allowed to cry unfair
‘Cause now they both get to drink 
alone somewhere

Chorus x2

Chorus 2:
B               F#
You can be winner you can be a loser
D               A*
Gotta wake up when you here the 
rooster
Sometimes its just too simple to 
live your life wrong
Gotta do right for you when the time
 come
