The Lovin Cup

          D7
It's just sometimes people get a 
little fed up, tired of not drinkin'
 from the lovin' cup
  D7                               
Gotta walk on my own like a little 
              G
bitty pup and hurry

G
Yeah, it seem like every time I give
 my heart, a couple good years and 
the bullshit starts
I did my best honey, played my part,
      C
 it's over

        D7
Now I'm sittin' cross-legged in a 
heartache tree, knowin' damn well 
you ain't a' thinking about me
Just a sad reminder of a used to be,
     G
 I'm gone

[Chorus]

          C     C/B   Am    Am/G 
And we go down, down, down, down, 
 D
down
C    C/B  Am   D/F# G
Love just left this town

[Verse 2]

G
If I had a dream, I guess I sold it,
 if I had a secret, Lord, I told it
This here hand I never thought I'd 
        C
fold it darlin'

        D7
Well, I paid my dues and I served my
 time, we had a good time but we 
never could rhyme
Put up a buck just to get back a 
           G
dime, it's gone

G
I remember a time when the mood was 
right, and you'd say go and we'd go 
all night
Now's it a bitch, and moan, and 
                     C
fuss, and fight, I'm tired babe

         D7
If you're ever in trouble, honey, 
I'll be there, but I'd rather be one
 than a mournful pair
The blind can see that you don't 
          G
care, I'm gone

[Chorus]

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  
And we go down, down, down, down, 
D
down
C    C/B  Am   D/F# G
Love just left this town


[solo]

[spoken]
Oh, what have I done?......
G
I can't believe these things I said

I let a couple of bad years go to my
 head
Without your love, I'd be old and 
          G
dead, I'm sorry

     D7
It's getting hard to handle that 
lonesome sound, it's goodbye 
trouble, I'm homeward bound
You're the only good thing this old 
                 G
boy's found, I'm home

[Final Chorus]

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  
And we go down, down, down, down, 
D
down
C    C/B Am  D/F# G
Love is  back in  town

         C     C/B   Am    Am/G  
And we go down, down, down, down, 
D
down
    C   C/B   Am    D/F# G
The one good  thing  I   found
