[Verse 1]
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 couldn’t remember her name
A
My head was a pounding and the sweat poured
E D B7
Around me like the faucet that she left on high
E
With a chip on my shoulder I’m another day older
B7 E
And I swear I could break down and cry

[Verse 2]
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 D B7
Grey but never again black and white
E
With a chip on my shoulder I’m another day older
B7 E
And I swear I could break down and cry

[Verse 3]
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 D B7
Snow white Mercedes and a devilish look in my eye
E
With a chip on my shoulder I’m another day older
B7 E
And I swear I could break down and cry

[Verse 4]
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 D B7
Till the sun stumbles out of the sky
E
With a chip on my shoulder I’m another day older
B7 E
And I swear I could break down and cry

[Outro]
E
I’ll keep on this way till my last dying day
D B7
It’s a blessing I’ve tried to disguise

With a chip on my shoulder I’m another day older
B7 E
And I swear I could break down and cry
