[Verse 1]
Em B7
Did you say it was black tie?
Em B7
I lost a button, but it fits just fine
Em D
Remind me what time
Em B7
Do you kids still high five?
Em B7
Cool Dad is fun, Cool Dad's your favorite guy!
Em
Watch me on the floor
[Chorus 1]
G D B7 Em
Ball and Chain, what would I be
C D G
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
D B7 Em
Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C
Don't ask me
[Verse 2]
Em B7
So I'm givin' you these keys
Em B7
Ten minutes more, no matter what I say
Em D
Then the Irish good-bye
Em B7
The seat's up too far
Em B7
Back roads I'm spinning with the starry sky
Em
Pour me out at home
[Chorus 2]
G D B7 Em
Ball and Chain, what would I be
C D G
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
D B7 Em
Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C Em
Don't ask me

[Verse 3]
Em B7
I'm a little bit sur-prised
Em B7
I sleep for 50 years, and you're still here
Am D
Takin' up my side
Em B7
And the sun moves so fast
Em B7
Too fast to see, too bright to look too long
Em
I open up my eyes
[Chorus 3]
G D B7 Em
Ball and Chain, what would I be
C D G
Without this weight that's pullin' me?
D B7 Em
Down and out and back a-gain
Don't ask me
C Em
Don't ask me
Dont ask me
C Em
Don't ask me
