Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am G6add11 | F - | Am G6add11 |

[Verse 1]
F            Am               G6add11
 Well I remember what you told       me
          F
Said drinkin' was unholy
So Lord,
Am             G6add11               F
  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
'Cause if you need  me,
           G6add11
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?
