[Verse]
          F                  
I've been mad I've been drunk
                                       G7  
I've been so high I can't tell up from down
                     G7        
But lately I've been working on
                 F                      
Trying to get my feet back on the ground
                     F    
It ain't easy on the wagon
Bb        F                           G          G7
■  Hell I lost more of my mind than I have found ■ 
                               Bb7    
All these drinking songs we're playing
        Csus4                      F    Bb
Make it hard staying sober in this town ■ 
F                                                      
■ I'd take a paycheck and I'd turn it to a sack of weed
                            G7  
And I'd burn it straight to hell
Bb7                                          C7 
I'd drink a beer joint dry and then the next day
               F      F7   F F7 F
I'm right back at the well ■ ■  ■
       F               
If the body is a temple
                 F7                G7             
I worked hard to keep that steeple spinning 'round
         Bb7                         
Then one day I heard the preacher say
          Csus4        C                 
Lord it's hard staying sober in this town

[Verse]
       F                   
Lord I pray for the courage
                                   G7   
To greet the hardened faces with a smile
           Bb                   
They don't notice any difference
                       Csus4      
But then again I guess forgiveness
F                  Bb F
Just takes a while ■  ■
          F                         
Would you believe he'd give a sinner
                F7   
Like me amazing grace


[Chorus]
Gb7 G7              
How sweet that sound
              Bb7               
But it's been hell crossing over
        C7                         F7   F
It's so hard staying sober in this town ■


[Outro]
        Gm                     
And the hardest part ain't over
     Gb Gbmaj7             Gb           F
It's so hard staying sober in this town ■
