[G]Slowly I [C]fall with the [G]rain & the future looks [C]grim once [D]again
[Em]Bottles and [C]pills [G]Im up on the [D]hills
[C]Stuck with a [D]ball and a [G]chain
[G]This city is [C]so obso[G]lete the drunks they fuck [C]up on the [D]streets
[Em]But thats the way it [C]goes when youre [G]down in Vster[D]s
[C]Sick of life [D]aint that a [G]treat
[Em]Straight out of nowhere [C]its coming on fast
[G]I sit here and wonder how [D]long will it last
[C]Some of my [D]best friends are [Em]gone
And the [C]others dont [G]know where they [D]belong
[Em]So light up the sky the beat must go on
[C]Raise my glass for the black river song
[G]And drink all my [C]problems [D]away
[C]Tomorrow is [D]just another [G]day
[G]Lonely & [C]hammered at [G]night and true love is [C]way out of [D]sight
[Em]A broke working [C]class will [G]shove it up your [D]ass
[C]But I know it wont [D]make it [G]alright
[Em]Straight out of nowhere [C]its coming on fast
[G]I sit here and wonder how [D]long will it last
[C]Some of my [D]best friends are [Em]gone
And the [C]others dont [G]know where they [D]belong
[Em]So light up the sky the beat must go on
[C]Raise my glass for the black river song
[G]And drink all my [C]problems [D]away
[C]Tomorrow is [D]just another [G]day
[G]Let the punishment [C]finally [G]begin for a life I [C]traded for [D]sin
[Em]Yeah,I sure paid the [C]cost for a [G]love that I [D]lost
[C]Strung out with a [D]bottle of [G]Gin
[Em]So light up the sky the beat must go on
[C]Raise my glass for the black river song
[G]And drink all my [C]problems [D]away
[C]Tomorrow is [D]just another [G]day
