Hellbender

E
In the cold early morning in the hills of Kentucky
                           D   B7
I woke to the sound of the rain
        E
And the girl from last evening laid silently sleeping
                    B7          E    F# G G#
Though I could not remember her name
   A
My head was a pounding and the sweat poured
                   E                        B7
Around me like the faucet that she left on high
       E                                   A
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older
E                     B7           E
And I swear I could break down and cry

E
I Never once made a dollar, which I didn’t gamble
                             D   B7
Or scramble to burn at both ends
        E
I’ve raged all night long, in the hour beforе dawn
                  B7        E    F# G G#
On spirits and bitters and blends
   A
What’s left of my day might bе crimson or
          E                      B7
Grey but never again black and white
       E                                   A
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older
E                     B7           E
And I swear I could break down and cry

E
I'm a fool with my money and I'm a fool with
                                          D   B7
My drinking I'm sinking to bottom of the well
        E
Adding fuel to the fire like my wildest desire
                      B7         E    F# G G#
Is to spend the next lifetime in hell
         A
I could cruise down to Hades, in a
                           E                  B7
Snow white Mercedes and a devilish look in my eye
       E                                   A
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older
E                     B7           E
And I swear I could break down and cry

E
There's a hard place on one side and a
                                             D   B7
Rock on the other, no corners to cut in this maze
        E
Only one way to do it, just to grin and bear through it
                           B7        E    F# G G#
I've been drinking up the courage for days
         A
So I’ll drain every cup and keep stacking them up
         E                         B7
Till the sun stumbles out of the sky
       E                                   A
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older
E                     B7           E   F# G G#
And I swear I could break down and cry

A
I’ll keep on this way till my dying day
       E                         B7
It’s a blessing I’ve tried to disguise
       E                                   A
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older
E                     B7           E
And I swear I could break down and cry
