[D]I woke up e[G]arly with a p[D]ounding in my h[G]ead
I'd been o[D]ut the night bef[G]ore with all my fri[D]ends [G]
[D]A little w[G]orried, kinda w[D]ondering what I d[G]id
I said, Lo[D]rd please forg[G]ive me for my s[D]ins
My w[A]ife wanted to kill me but she t[G]ried to save me first
A G (walkdown)
You're goin' if I have to drag your butt to church
[D]I love this c[G]razy tragic, s[D]ometimes a[G]lmost magic
[D]Awful, b[G]eau[A/E]tiful l[D]ife
[D]I read the h[G]ymns and kinda so[D]rta sang al[G]ong
Made it th[D]rough the Sunday s[G]ermon wide aw[D]ake [G]
[D]We met the f[G]amily for d[D]inner at our h[G]ome
Drank some b[D]eer, watched the g[G]ame and cooked some st[D]eak
[A]My little brother had a b[G]ig fight with his wife
A G (walkdown)
And our poor mother sat between em both all night
[D]I love this c[G]razy tragic, s[D]ometimes a[G]lmost magic

p. p. p....
[Bm]We said a prayer for cousin [F#m]Michael in Iraq
[Bm]We're all aware that he may [F#m]never make it back
[Bm]We talked about the way we [F#m]missed his stupid jokes
[G]And how he [D/F#]loved to be a [Em7]soldier more than m[A]ost
[D]I lay in b[G]ed that night and t[D]hought about the [G]day
And how my l[D]ife is like a r[G]oller-coaster r[D]ide [G]
[D]The ups and d[G]owns and crazy t[D]urns along the w[G]ay
It'll th[D]row you off if y[G]ou don't hold on t[D]ight
[A]You can't really smile unt[G]il you shed some tears
A G (walkdown)
I could die today or I might live on for years
[D]I love this c[G]razy tragic, s[D]ometimes a[G]lmost magic
