Gracefully Facedown

D                                                     

Lately things ain't been going my way 

G

Consequently I've been drinking nearly every day

A

It's hard to keep your head up when they're knocking you down   

          D

So I been making that all go round

D                                                                                     

Drinking bottom shelf bourbon to ease my mind  

          G

Seems to work alright 'til closing time

A                                                                                             

But you know you're gonna come down every night    

           D

And there ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

G                                                                      

Ain't that hard to figure where to begin   

      D

It's Friday night so I'm rushing in

         E                        A     

Like a fool I get it anywhere I can



Chorus

D                                               D

Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line

G

Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 

D                                           

you'll find me downtown  

Dsus7

Gracefully face down

E                    A        D

Just wishing I could  feel   alright



Verse

D                                                                                          

Lately I've been wanderin around with eyes closed 

    G

It seems like I been heading down the wrong road

   A                                                                 

I Thought I'd find my way by now  

         D

But I still got lost somehow

D                      

You hear shots fall down from Heaven above, You might  

G

lose a friend you might fall in love, But you

A                              

know you're gonna come down every night, and there  

D

ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied

G                                                                         

Six in the morning 'til your dying day, it's   

D

straight bad news and bills to pay, but come

E                                  A

five o'clock you're feeling good again



Chorus



D                                               D

Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line

G

Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 

D                                           

you'll find me downtown  

Dsus7

Gracefully face down

E                    A        D

Just wishing I could  feel   alright



Verse

D                                                                                           

Well I been so high I hit my head on the ground, Sat

G

up on the floor seems the room spin around, But when you

A                       

squint real hard through the bottom of the bottle, Things  

D

really don't look so bad

D                                                                                       

You drink a cheap malt liquor from a 40 oz bottle 

G

Swig some bourbon, some pills if you've got 'em, But you

A                                                                                            

know you're gonna come down every night and there 

D

ain't no way you'll ever feel satisfied, There's

G                                                                              

years of my life I don't remember at all, Like 

D

one Friday evening I can barely recall, There was a

E                                     A

sad situation in a bar room bathroom stall



Chorus



D                                               D

Well I'm having a hard time  Walking a straight line

G

Seeing two of every single neon sign  Well now 

D                                           

you'll find me downtown
