Jamey Johnson - Lonely At The Top

intro : A E A

A
i was pourin’ out my troubles
D
to a stranger in the bar
A
about the problems and the pressures
E
on a country music star

A
half braggin’ , half complainin’
D
bout the money and the fame
A
and just how lonely life can be
E A
when you’ve made yourself a name

chorus :
D
i said would you like a drink
A
he said thanks , i’ll have a double

i’ve worked up a powerful thirst
E
just listening to all your troubles
D
and while he makes that drink
A
i’ll smoke one if you got ’em

it might be lonely at the top ,
E A
but its a bitch at the bottom

intro

i left a hundred on the table
and didn’t wait around for change
with my load a little lighter
and my thinking rearranged
that stranger made me realize
how thankful i should be
and if i forget i hope those words
he said i hope come back to me

chorus
i said would you like a drink
he said thanks , i’ll have a double
i’ve worked up a powerful thirst
just listening to all your troubles
and while he makes that drink
i’ll smoke one if you got ’em
it might be lonely at the top ,
but its a bitch at the bottom

it might be lonely at the top ,
E A E A
but its a bitch at the bottom
