Wasted Man

Intro: G

Verse 1:

G                               C
I live on a country road in the town
 where I was born.
G                              D
I wake up every morning to the birds
 singing their songs.
G                         C      
I get out of bed and walk over to
               G
 my window.
            D             C
I watch the birds fly and think
          D                  G
Will they ever be that happy again?

Verse 2:

Go down stairs to find the wife that
 I won.
Sit down at the table and stare at 
my aged hands of 81.
Open up the paper to the obituaries.
I look at the faces and see if I 
recognize any.

Chorus:
C                    G
This is my life as a suspicious man.
C                               G
When everything's been stripped 
    D
away from these hands.
G                    C
Everyone I loved has come and gone.
       G            D             
And to think, maybe I'll be the 
   G
next one.

Verse 3:

Get a call today from my only son.
He tells me all about the city and 
says, "I'm sorry dad, but I just had
 to run."
"I know i didn't turn out the way 
you wanted me to."
"And I hope you still love me the 
way that I love you."

Chorus:
C                     G
This is my life as an angry man.
C                   G        
People disobey everything I say 
      D
anyway they can.
G                        C
Everything I've done has gone to 
dirt.
    G             D               
And when I try my best I just get 
G
hurt.

Verse 4:

I go outside to buy me some time.
I sit on the back porch with a beer 
in hand and my life in mind.
Think about all the people I pushed 
under me.
And I guess the only on eto blame is
 me.

Chorus:
C                    G
This is my life as a wasted man.
C                              G 
Pushing everyone away so I can be
                      D
 the one to grab that helping hand.
G                         C
In my life I've lost everyone I love
         G           D         
From the things I've said or the 
              G
things I've done.
