G
Single six months yesterday
D
Thought I outta celebrate
C                            D                    G
So I went down to grab a couple beers
G
And I got so drunk I ripped my pants I asked the bouncer for a dance
G
Thanked him as he threw me out I woke up that ole Waffle House
G      D/F#
With a shiner' and a wild brunette she don't know my real name yet
C
Well no I ain't over you
Am      D


[ CHORUS ]
                            G       C                        D
But I'm doin' my best every day and every night
                              G         C                         D
Hangin' on by a thread that's stretched just a little too tight
C
If I can't find some peace of mind I'll take what I can get
                            D
I ain't doin' much good but I'm doin' my best
G      C      D      G     C     D


[ VERSE 2 ]

G             C                  D
I decided I'd get smart and have a long talk with my heart
C                  D                          G
at some quiet spot outside of town
   C
so I took my best friends Pontiac
  D                      G       C
I drove it like a maniac right into the reservoir
D
I guess we ain't best friends no more

C

D/F# C
Just my luck a cop came by who I beat up in Junior high
He said I better have a good excuse

D

                            G       C                        D

Hangin' on by a thread that's stretched just a little too tight
C
If I can't find some peace of mind I'll take what I can get
                            D
I ain't doin' much good but I'm doin' my best

   C                                                         D
