Tabbed by Jaclyn


Standard tuning - Capo II


       G                D
Well I Got drunk by myself last night
      Em                C
They say its no way to make things right
G                    C                 D
I just didn't have anything better to do.
  G                    D
The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
     Em                 C
I watched a show about crime and drugs
G                      D                    G
Finished a bottle of Jaeger until it was through

    G                 D
And I don't care that I can't sleep
        Em                  C
Hell, I'd just as soon stay up all week
G                       C                  D
I might get some things done while others dream.
  G                    D
The heater broke and the room got cold
       Em                   C
Any my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
G                  D                    G
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me. 


Chorus:
   Bm           C
If Everyone was together
        G               C
I guess no one would be alone
G                C                D
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
  Bm              C     
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
     G                     C
The proud souls laugh and they love together
G                  D                 G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.

G                         D
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
       Em                         C
And my head was laying next to the telephone, 
G                 C                    D 
I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades.
G                      D
One thing that seems always true
          Em                        C
That's when I'm hung-over well the sky is blue,
G                 D                        G
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day. 

     G                       D
And I believe in ghost and democracy
         Em                           C
And that each man should leave us his legacy
G               C                 D
Be that mans' work great or be it small. 
       G                   D
But, I don't believe in everything like
     Em                        C
The designated hitter or that diamond ring
G                      D                  G
We'll make love last forever for one and all


   Bm           C
If Everyone was together
        G           C
Why are so many left alone
G                C                D
Life's a lot of trade offs in the end.
  Bm              C     
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
     G                     C
The proud souls laugh and they love together
G                  D                 G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.



G                  D                 G
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.
