C 
Hung over on the couch again 
G 
Feelin' like a fool don't you know I've been 
F 
Chasin' a dream and losing sleep 
C                    G 
Just a victim of the hours I keep 
 
In 29 days, I'll be 30 years old 
Still ain't found a job that I can hold 
But I've held on through thick and thin 
To one thing that I believe in 
 

[Refrão]
C                     G 
Last night we had a pretty good crowd 
           F                      C 
They were tappin' their toes and singin' out loud 
                  Dm             G 
They heard every song we came to play 
         C                      G 
Well I lost track of time, but I suppose 
        F                        C 
We'd a played all night if that bar didn't close 
                        G            F    C 
Nights like that don't happen every day 
 
 
I've played some dives where no one showed 
I've made less than the bar tab I owed 
Played for free and just for the booze 
It's a little thing called payin' your dues 
 
Those nights I got lost on my way home 
And the nights I spent so all alone 
Call on me from time to time 
And end up in the words of a rhyme 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
I'd like to shut it down for a week 
Rest up my voice, maybe get some sleep 
But the chances of a vacation are slight 
Tryin' to make a livin' playing music at night 
 
So I spread my bills out on the floor 
Choose the ones to pay and the ones to ignore 
Tell myself it'll be alright 
Pick up my guitar and begin to write 
 
(repeat chorus)
