half full beer
Cigarette boats

float around in here

A field in my gut
        B
lacking sunshine

Chorus 1:
E         B
  She was passing
A                  E
through to climb a hill
        B
As you slipped and
 A              C#m
slid on my gut spill
My better half was
A           B
praying for you to fall

years of my life

prostitute in court

thoughts of you
