Backside Of Thirty

C                         F      
Making money at 30 with a wife 
    G7
and a son

       C                       D7 
Then a short 5 years later  it all
         G7
 comes undone

      C                          F
She's gone back to mama with the 
          G7
boy by her side

        C                          
Now I'm wine drunk and running with
 G7         C
 them on my mind


           F                      
I'm on the backside of thirty and 
C
back on my own

   E7                    F        
An empty apartment don't feel like
   G7
 a home

       F                      C
On the backside of thirty the short 
side of time

Back on the bottom with no will to

C                              F 
It's dawn Monday morning and I 
             G7
just called in sick

          C                   D7  
I skipped work last Friday to 
               G7
drink this month's rent

    C                        F    
And when my friends ask me I tell 
        G7
'em I'm fine

       C                           
But my eyes tell the story that my 
G7         C
lies can't hide


           F
