Em

[Verse]
Em                                        G                                     Am
What’s that bottle you got hiding friend, between the Maker’s and Jack? Can you do me a
                          Em
solid and pour a taste to bring the memories back? Of a younger man from a different time.
     G                    Am          D                  Em
When time was all he had. 'fore his own brother shot him down.


[Verse]
Em                          G                       C
Twenty-two years ago today came back from the dead. Homecoming was short and sweet,
Em                      Em                            G                   Am
I remember how it read. It said the war was over but the battle in me began.
                  D                    Em
Put it on my tab, please don’t roll me out.



[Chorus]
        C                             G                         D                      Em
Roll me out into a world that made a monster out of me. Roll me out into a road I used walk
   F#     G             C                                        G                   C
on my own feet. Where I stare at eyes of strangers, and they'll never look back and see. A
                        D                         Em
light as bright as this daylight, come on roll me out.


[Verse]
Em                                        G                             Am
I swear I’ve said a million times while choking down these pills, That life don’t change at all
              Em                         Em                               G
for me. I change it at my will. And I’ll never feel the shiver from this girl's hand on my
           C           D                Em
knee. At least, maybe she, can roll me out.


[Chorus]
        C                              G                              D
Roll me out into the night time; I’ll smoke whatever you got. Roll me out but don’t feel
                   Em    F#      G              C                             G
sorry at least my memory wasn’t shot. I didn’t leave the glass half empty, no I drank every
   C                          D                       Em
drop.  In my mind I’m still standing, come on roll me out.

[Verse]
          Em                            G                            C               D
At best they'll name a park bench in my honour when I’m done. I hope I’m buried with my mama's
Em                  Em                                       G
picture and my gun. They’re the only friends that talk to me in my darkest time. That
C                           Em
darkness when they lower me down.


[Chorus]
          C                               G                                 D
Lower me down and talk about when I was young, and fun, and wild. Lower me down and know I
               Em  F#     G             C                              G
never hurt a woman or a child. Please remember I was just like you and still knew how to
C       C               D                     Em
smile. Forget you ever had... to ever roll me out.
