[B] And [F#m]
I bet [E] he'd just take a deep breath
And he'd let them all go

In a way that seems strange [A] Yes, hungry
For all the things he just can't [C#m] change
[E] Like the time he passed out [B] in his own bedroom
[E] _ And his [B] ex-wife sewed him up in the sheet
And she beat him with the broom
[F#m] And he [E] forgave her _
And you think that that's rough
[A] Then the IRS came and they took away all his stuff
They took his [E] golf course and his recording studio
_ _ And [B] he just went on out and did another show
When [A] it's all coming down [B] on you
I think you [A] better ask yourself
[B]
