Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I was pourin'  out my troubles
 To a stranger  in the bar
 About the  problems and the pressures
 On a country  music star
 Half braggin',  half complainin'
 bout the money  and the fame
And  just how lonely life can be
 When you've  made yourself a name
 I said would  you like a drink
 He said thanks,  I'll have a double
 I've worked up a powerful thirst
 just listening to all your  troubles
 And while  he makes that drink
 I'll smoke  one if you got 'em
 It might be lonely at the top,
 but its a bitch  at the bottom
 I left a hundred on the table
 and didn't wait around for change
 with my load a little lighter
 and my thinking rearranged
 That stranger made me realize
 how thankful I should be
 And if I forget I hope those words
 he said I hope come back to me
 I said would you like a drink
 He said thanks, I'll have a double
 I've worked up a powerful thirst
 just listening to all your troubles
 And while he makes that drink
 I'll smoke one if you got 'em
 It might be lonely at the top,
 but its a bitch at the bottom
 It might be lonely at the top,
 but its a bitch  at the bottom
