prechorus

Bm Bm/A#
walked together down a dead end street
Bm/A Bm/G#
we were mixing the bitter with the sweet
G Bm
don’t try to figure out what we might have had
F# Bm
just two shots of happy , one shot of sad

chorus

Em
i’m just a singer , some say a sinner
Bm Bm/A# Bm/A Bm/G#
rolling the dice , not always a winner
Em
you say i’ve been lucky , well , hell , i made my own
G C#
not part of the crowd , but not feeling alone

( same as first verse )
under pressure , not bent out of shape
surrounded we always found an escape
drove me to drink , but hey , that’s not all bad
two shots of happy one shot of sad

( same as prechorus )
guess i’ve been greedy , all of my life
greedy with my children , my lover’s , my wife
greedy for the good things as well as the bad
two shots of happy , one shot of sad

middle ( same as prechorus )

( same as chorus )
maybe it’s just talk , saloon singing
the chairs are all stacked , the swingers start swinging
you say i hurt you , you put the finger on yourself
then after you did it you came cryin for my help

( same as verse )
two shots of happy , one shot of sad
i’m not complaining , baby , i’m glad
you call it compromise , well what’s that .
two shots of happy , one shot of sad

D C# Bm
two shots of happy , one shot . . . . . . . . . . . . . of sad
