Full Time Loser Chords by Jesse Howard

This song is about an old buddy of mine.
[F#] He's not around to tell the story anymore, [G#m] so I figured I'd tell the story for him. _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] Just a baby [F#] holding mama real tight in [G#m] the moonlight
Lying in her bed
[E] I say mama, please don't [F#] cry _ _ _
[B] What's wrong [F#] isn't daddy will he be [G#m] coming home tonight?
She said no [E] son
He'll be gone
[F#] _ _ Then [G#m] the days turned in
to [E] months only _
[B] And I said mama when's he coming [F#] home?
_ She said [G#m] forget him son
Got her [E] own life to run _ _
[B] You'll be starting school before [F#] long
I [B] met my teacher by [F#] my desk like the rest of [G#m] the kids on that first day _
[E] Settle down now kids [F#] listen _ _ _
[B] Now y'all when [F#] I call your name, I [G#m] want you to stand up and say
[E] Where you from and what your daddy does for [F#] a living
_ I
Remember [G#m] this one kid
He stood [E] up and say _
[B] My dad's a fireman always [F#] ready
_ When [G#m] it got to my turn I can feel my [E] little bro heart burn _
[B] She said all right now.
What's [F#] your daddy?
_ I said [B] never ready
[F#] And that was pretty [G#m] much steady _ _ _
[E] He's been called the devil's [F#] right hand
_ Long [B] gone lover
[F#] My dear [G#m] sweet mother _ _ _
[E] _ More than she could [F#] say
_ Joker [B] and a fool
_ [F#] Smoker [G#m] and a boozer _ _
[E] _ Part-time gambling [F#] man
_ And a full [B]-time loser
[F#] It's _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] tough enough [F#] growing up not to mention all [G#m] the breaking up grown-ups do
[E] Gives a kid only half a chance to [F#] make it _ _
[B] Mama cried and [F#] she tried her best with [G#m] me, but I never break through _
[E] If there was a rule I was gonna [F#] break it
_ It [G#m] was bad at first
Then [E] the bad guy
Until _
[B] before long I was a warning [F#] man
_ Then [G#m] it just so me
Letting [E] you off easy _
[B] With only ten short years my [F#] friend
I [B] shook the hand of [F#] a man that I met [G#m] two days into my ten years
[E] Out every say he [F#] already knew my name
I _
[B] asked him how [F#] and he smiled and said I know [G#m] my own son
anyway _
[E] Damn, look at you, man
You [F#] sure ain't changed
I know it must [G#m] have been hard son
With your [E] own lives around _
[B] But I wanna know
every minute I [F#] miss
_ When [G#m] it got to my turn I can feel my [E] old bro heart burn _
[B] He asked why are you in a place [F#] like this?
Yes, well you never got [B] me ready
[F#] And you broke my [G#m] heart steady _ _ _
[E] Till I was called the devil's [F#] right hand
_ I'm a long [B] gone lover
[F#] My sweet [G#m] child's mother _ _ _
[E] _ And more than she could [F#] say
A joker [B] and a fool
_ [F#] Smoker [G#m] and a loser _ _
[E] _ Part-time gambling [F#] man
_ And a full [B]-time loser
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ I'm a full
