 I got  drunk by myself  last night.
 They  say its no way to make  things right
 I just  didnt have anything  better  to do
 The  dog was asleep on the living  room rug and
 I  watched a show about crime  and drugs
 Finished  a bottle of bourbon  until it was through
 (verse 2 - same chord pattern)
 I dont care that I can’t sleep
 I’d just as soon stay up all week
 I might get some things done while others dream
 The heater broke and the room got cold
 And my knees and ankles say I’m gettin’ older
 The phone finally rang but it wasn’t for me
 If everyone  was together
 I guess no  one would be alone
Life’s  a lot of trade  offs in the end
Somewhere  in the fields  of heather
 The proud  souls laugh and they love  together
 Somewhere  between passion  and losing friends
 ( same as verse 1&2)
 Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
 My head was next to the telephone
 I gave the sun a cussin’ as I drew the shades
 One thing that always seems true
 That’s when I’m hung over the sky is blue
 A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
 And I believe in ghosts and democracy
 And that each man should leave his legacy
 Be that mans work great or be it small
 I don’t believe in everything like
 The designated hitter or that diamond rings
 Will make love last forever for one and all
 (chorus)
Cause  if everyone should be together
 Why  are some many left alone
Life’s  a lot of trade  offs in the  end
Somewhere  in the fields  of heather
 The  proud souls laugh and they love  together
Somewhere  between passion  and losing  friends
Somewhere  between passion  and losing friends

I [A]got drunk by mys[E]elf last night.
T[F#m]hey say its no way to ma[D]ke things right
I [A]just didnt have an[E]ything better[D] to do
Th[A]e dog was asleep on the [E]living room rug and
I[F#m] watched a show about c[D]rime and drugs
Fi[A]nished a bottle of [E]bourbon until it was [A]through

(verse 2 - same chord pattern)
I dont care that I can’t sleep
I’d just as soon stay up all week
I might get some things done while others dream
The heater broke and the room got cold
And my knees and ankles say I’m gettin’ older
The phone finally rang but it wasn’t for me

If e[C#m]veryone was t[D]ogether
I guess [A]no one would be [D]alone
[F#]Life’s a lot of t[E]rade offs in the [A]end

( same as verse 1&2)

Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
My head was next to the telephone
I gave the sun a cussin’ as I drew the shades
One thing that always seems true
That’s when I’m hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
And I believe in ghosts and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
Be that mans work great or be it small
I don’t believe in everything like
The designated hitter or that diamond rings
Will make love last forever for one and all

(chorus)
[C#m]Cause if everyone should be t[D]ogether
Wh[A]y are some many left a[D]lone
[F#]Life’s a lot of t[E]rade offs in t[A]he end
[C#m]Somewhere in the f[D]ields of heather
Th[A]e proud souls laugh and they l[D]ove together
[F#]Somewhere between [E]passion and losing[A] friends
[F#]Somewhere between [E]passion and losing [D]friends
