 INTRO
Have  I not been, far enough?
...How  many times  do you have to die  now?
How  many miles, has it  been?
...Not nother  one,  no.
Would  you believe,  that this happens  more often  than not?
But  here's to all the people
 That I'm  not with  tonight..(run  on 5th string C,B,A )or chord C,G,D
 Wherever they are.
I  pulled into town, late last night,
...Would  you believe  I would like to cry  now?
Found  my lady, laying with a man,
...Not nother  one, no.
And  would you believe
 That it happens  more often  than not?
And  here's to all the ladies
 That I'm  not with  tonight..  (run ,,)
 Wherever they are.
So  I went downtown, to let it out.
..How  many times  do have to try  now?
I  Found a woman, that said I was the best,
..Not  another  one, oh no.
And  would you believe
 That this happens  more often  than not?
But  here's to all the ladies
 That just fell  to me  tonight...  (run ,,)
 Whoever they were.
Where's  the bottle, pass it here,
...So  many reasons  to drink it dry  now.
Probably  kill me, might ease some pain,
..Have  another  one and here we go.
And  would you believe
 That this happens  more often  than not?
And  here's to all the bottles
 That I’ve  drunk in  my time...(run ,,)
 Whatever they were.
 (finish with G CHORD till end)
 Have I not been, far enough?
 Can a man just take it easy somewhere down the line?
 Do you always have to try find.. the line?
 Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
