[Verse]
C#m B A C#m B A
■   ■ ■ ■   ■ ■
       C#m           B          
Well I remember what you told me
     A                  
Said drinking was unholy
        C#m B                   A    
So Lord can you point me to the creek
      C#m   B              
And I still keep it with me
A                            
Tucked under all the memories
C#m        B                  A          
Your voice echoing throughout those trees
C#m B A C#m A
■   ■ ■ ■   ■
C#m         B                
And through unfavored weather
A                       
And holes in the leather
C#m                          A  
These boots still covered in tar
         C#m              B          
Well I'm still praying to the heavens
A                          
And hoping for them seven's
C#m      B               A     
But hope only gets a man so far


[Chorus]
C#m       B            A                      
When This game of life plays heavy on my heart
C#m                   A                          
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
C#m      B                A              
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
C#m               B             
They say pressure makes diamonds
A                           
How the hell am I still coal


[Verse]
C#m A C#m A
■   ■ ■   ■
         C#m         B            
Now I've seen Heaven without dyin'
A                           
Met the devil without tryin'
    C#m                            A    
And they both seem to want to talk to me
C#m         B              
But I'm all out of luck now
    A                            
And my dreams aren't worth a buck
C#m            B                 A      
How it's tough tryin' to land on my feet


[Chorus]
C#m       B            A                      
When this game of life plays heavy on my heart
C#m      B            A                          
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
C#m      B          A                    
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
C#m                             
They say pressure makes diamonds
A                           
How the hell am I still coal
C#m                      B            A           C#m    
And every day is gettin' colder since that day in October
                        B       A     
When you told me it was over so I left
C#m                               B 
'cause if you need me well I told ya
       A                  C#m  
I'm on the better side of sober
                          B     
Tryin' to find a fourleaf clover
   A                  C#m 
To get me out of this mess
             B    A                      
This game of life plays heavy on my heart
C#m      B                          A            
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
C#m      B                A              
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
             C#m            B       
And they say pressure makes diamonds
    A       
How the hell
C#m      B            A                      
■   This game of life plays heavy on my heart
C#m B                 A                          
And love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard
C#m      B          A                    
And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
         C#m          B             
And they say pressure makes diamonds

A                           
How the hell am I still coal
