Chords for Travis Meadows "Riser" @ Eddie Owen Presents

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ My first memory on this planet is [C] watching my little brother drown.
_ _ And it all went downhill from there.
[A] _
And every time that I would get kicked down, I would just get back up.
_ _ [C]
[G] And then there came a point in my life where I said,
I'm [C] kind of tired of this whole, whatever the [G] plan is, I don't like it.
And so [A] I laid down, took a little hiatus, stayed drunk [C]
for six years.
_ _ And then one day I decided I was going to [A] get back up.
I had enough to lay it down.
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
That's where this song came from.
I wrote it with Steve Moklin.
And Dierks Bentley liked [A] it enough that he recorded it.
It's the title track on his new record.
And it's [C] supposed to be the next single.
I don't know if it's going to be the next single or not.
I'm a little pessimistic when it comes to that stuff.
But [A] here's what I know for sure.
We're about to play it for you right now.
