Goin' Out On Top
Eric Shaw
Capo 4
[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
Been doing this Friday night routine
G
For so long I forgot
G
I just ordered one more round
G
Of one too many on the rocks
Em
And in a couple hours
A
They'll drag me to the street
C
And they'll place some bets among themselves
If I'll make it back next week
G
Hell, I don't know
[Verse]
G
And I'll wake up in the morning
G
On the front porch of my home
G
It would make a lot of sense to me
G
If I woke up there alone
Em
But she hands me my coffee
A
Even as her blue eyes roll
C
And she reminds me that my 20's
Were 20 years ago
[Chorus]
G D Em C
Well life comes at you fast
G D
My days of staying out all night
Em C
Are better off in the past
Em
But I've got one good run left in me
A
We're gonna pull out all the stops
C
And before I hit rock bottom
G
I'm goin' out on top
[Verse]
G
There's a line of kids with ID
G
But the doorman waves me by
I roll in like a king
G
Holding court for one last time
Em
So barkeep line 'em up
A
It's time for another round
C
Tonight's gonna me by swan song
G
We're closing this place down
[Chorus]
G D Em C
Well life comes at you fast
G D
My days of staying out all night
Em C
Are better off in the past
Em
But I've got one good run left in me
A
We're gonna pull out all the stops
C
And before I hit rock bottom
G
I'm goin' out on top
[Interlude]
G D Em C (x2)
G D
You know I can't quite run like I used to
Em C
When the sun comes up I've got things to do
G D C
The good times seem to be rolling over me
G D
But I left my mark and I made my name
Em C
There's plenty after me who will do the same
G D C
We're all chapters in a honky tonk legacy
[Chorus]
G D Em C
Well life comes at you fast
G D
My days of staying out all night
Em C
Are better off in the past
Em
But I've got one good run left in me
A
We're gonna pull out all the stops
C
And before I hit rock bottom
G
I'm goin' out on top
