Woke up this morning,
my pillow was wet.
I guess I know
that I was gonna get
[A] maybe some breakfast
and a juice.
And then [E] I started thinking about
the shit that I was in.
Well, [B] guess I could do
to keep from going down.
[E] I got [D] me a
[E] ride to the high quality
top of the Foggeress bar
on the Foggeress street.
I [Em] never thought
twice [E] what could happen to
me. [A] [F#m] Stepped
in the [A] bar, started drinking beverage,
[E] pouring on whiskey, and
pouring up my trouble.
[B] When did you got to be on the
side of the side?
Oh, and oh,
the money was gone.
I'm living the blues.
I'm living the blues tonight.

wanna feel bad.

tonight.
Come here,
baby, let me buy you a drink.
Why don't you even start
[A] thinking? Maybe
you think that you and me, maybe we could have
something nice.
[E] Believe
me, baby, you don't wanna pay
the price.
You [B] said
