Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
Am G6add11 F
Am G6add11
[Verse 1]
F Am G6add11
Well I remember what you told me
F
Said drinkin' was unholy
Am G6add11 F
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
Am G6add11
And I still keep it with me
F
Tucked under all the memories
Am G6add11 F
Your voice echoin' throughout those trees
[Interlude]
Am G6add11 F Am G6add11
[Verse 2]
F Am G6add11
And through unfavored weather
F
And holes in the leather
Am G6add11 F
These boots still covered in tar
Am G6add11
Well I'm still prayin' to the Heavens
F
And hopin' for them sevens
Am G6add11 F
But hope only gets a man so far
[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?
[Interlude]
Am G6add11 F Am G6add11
[Verse 3]
F Am G6add11
Now I've seen Heaven without dyin'
F
Met the Devil without tryin'
Am G6add11 F
And they both seem to want to talk to me
Am G6add11
But I'm all out of luck now
F
And my dreams aren't worth a buck
Am G6add11 F
How it's tough tryin' to land on my feet
[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?
[Bridge]
Am G6add11 F
And every day is gettin' colder, since that day in October
Am G6add11 F
When you told me it was over, so I left
Am G6add11
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya
F
I'm on the better side of sober
Am G6add11
Tryin' to find a fourleaf clover
F
To get me out of this mess
[Chorus]
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell
Am G6add11 F
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
Am G6add11 F
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
Am G6add11 F
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
Am G6add11
They say pressure makes diamonds
F
How the hell am I still coal?
Well, I remember what you told me
Said drinkin' was unholy
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
And I still keep it with me
Tucked under all the memories
Your voice echoin' throughout those trees
And through unfavored weather
And holes in the leather
These boots still covered in tar
Well, I'm prayin' to the Heavens
And hopin' for them sevens
But hope only gets a man so far
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?
Now I've seen Heaven without dyin'
Met the Devil without tryin'
And they both seem to want to talk to me
But I'm all out of luck now
And my dreams aren't worth a buck
How it's tough tryin' to land on my feet
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
They say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?
And every day is gettin' colder, since that day in October
When you told me it was over, so I left
'Cause if you need me, well, I told ya
I'm on the better side of sober
Tryin' to find a four-leaf clover
To get me out of this mess
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?
