[Intro]
F C G Am G
[Verse]
Am F
I met a man in my late teens
C G
He said i’m gonna conquer the world
Am F
Before he'd finished i could tell from his laugh
C G
He'd been living this way most of his life
Am F
Hand on his heart and a tear as he cries
C G
His persona is a public disguise
Am F
He drank from his cup and finished it up
C G
Said now listen boy now listen real hard
[Chorus]
F C
My lungs might be broke and my liver might be dying
G Am G
But my heart’s full of love and my head’s always trying
F C
My toes stay cold and my beard gets longer
G Am G
‘Cause my feet are firmly rooted in this earth that ages older
F C
Money's not an issue ‘cause my issue grew a tree
G Am G
But i'll be a better man just like my father said i'd be
F C
When it's dark you light a candle when you're sad you try to handle
G Am G
When you've messed up what life gives you're only out and maybe in love
[RIFF over Intro]
(F C G Am G)
Am G
Only out and maybe in love
F C G Am G
[Verse 2]
Am F
I met a lady in my late teens
C G
She came in hard and ripped out my heart
Am F
Clenched it firmly between two fists
C G
In love i guess i swung and i missed
Am F
But nothing’s as bad when nearly i had a miss fortune
C G
I've never been a sucker for life
Am F
But if life is a gift then a gift is a bitch and a bitch isn't for me
C G
‘Cause i've had my fair share of two of those
[Chorus]
F C
My lungs might be broke and my liver might be dying
G Am G
But my heart’s full of love and my head’s always trying
F C
My toes stay cold and my beard gets longer
G Am G
‘Cause my feet are firmly rooted in this earth that ages older
F C
Money's not an issue ‘cause my issue grew a tree
G Am G
But i'll be a better man just like my father said i'd be
F C
When it's dark you light a candle when you're sad you try to handle
G Am G
When you've messed up what life gives you're only out and maybe in love
