[Intro]
A G A G
(x2)
 
[Verse 1]
   A
My best friend's ship is sinkin'
    G
She thinks her man's been cheatin'
    A                           G
And me, I put my dog down yesterday
    A
And when the walls start fallin'
      G
I can hear the whiskey callin'
A                                    G
Sounds like we could both just use a drink
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A                   G
Ain't that how life goes?
 
No, we ain't alone
 
[Chorus]
D         A/C#    Bm        A
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
G
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
D         A/C#   Bm       A
Someone's cele - bratin'
      G
While someone's heart is breakin'
          Bm                      A/C#
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
          G
There's a neon light on the edge of town
          D     A/C# Bm    A  G
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
                         A
We'll be keeping bars in business
 
[Interlude]
A  G
 
[Verse 2]
          A
There's a couple in a back booth
G
Just got back from Cancun
        A                                 G
Getting Blue Moon drunk in that honeymoon phase
           A
And by the window, there's an old man
       G
With a ring still on his left hand
     A
Even though she's been gone
    G
Ten years to the day
 
[Chorus]
D         A/C#    Bm        A
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
G
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
D         A/C#   Bm       A
Someone's cele - bratin'
      G
While someone's heart is breakin'
          Bm                      A/C#
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
          G
There's a neon light on the edge of town
          D     A/C# Bm    A  G
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
                         Bm        A/C#  G
We'll be keeping bars in business

[Bridge]
      A                   G
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
              A       G
No, we ain't alone
              A       G
No, we ain't alone
 
[Chorus]
D         A/C#    Bm        A
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'

                A          G
Keeping bars in business
      A
Yeah, life is hard, so it ain't hard
G
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
A                               G
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
      D     A/C# Bm  A    G
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?

And me, I put my dog down yesterday
And when the walls start fallin'
I can hear the whiskey callin'
Sounds like we could both just use a drink

Ain't that how life goes?
No, we ain't alone

Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
Someone's celebratin'
While someone's heart is breakin'
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
We'll be keeping bars in business

There's a couple in a back booth
Just got back from Cancun
Getting Blue Moon drunk in that honeymoon phase
And by the window, there's an old man
With a ring still on his left hand
Even though she's been gone
Ten years to the day

Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
Someone's celebratin'
While someone's heart is breakin'
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
We'll be keeping bars in business
Keeping bars in business

Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
No, we ain't alone
No, we ain't alone

Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
Someone's celebratin'
While someone's heart is breakin'
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
We'll be keeping bars in business
Keeping bars in business

Yeah, life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
