[Chorus]
GCG
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
EmAmD
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
GC
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
EmAmDGEmAmDG
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
[Verse]
EmAmEm
Another day of agony, another night in hell
EmAmBm
He hit the bottom of the barrel, saved by the bell
EmAmEm
They grabbed him, they punched him, they slapped him in the face
AmBm
He stumbled, he tumbled, he felt like a disgrace
EmAmEm
A dirty shirt, a lousy cap, oh, what an ugly sight
AmBm
No money in his pockets, all stolen in a fight
EmAmEm
His memory lapsed on his way to Portobello Lane
AmBm
He stuttered, he uttered, he crawled through the rain
[Chorus]
GCG
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
EmAmD
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
GC
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
EmAmDG
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
[Interlude]

[Verse]
EmAmEm
A bloody nose, blind in one eye, with demons in his head
AmBm
Beggars can't be chosen, he's completely in the red
EmAmEm
He drew a blank, went down the drain, was down in the dumps
AmBm
The cards were stocked against him, lost all his bloody trumps
[Chorus]
GCG
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
EmAmD
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
GC
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
EmAmDG
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
[Bridge]
CEm
ooohhh such a shame
CEm
ooohhh down the drain
CEm
ooohhh what a game
CEm
ooohhh a bloody game
[Chorus]
GCG
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
EmAmD
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
GC
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
EmAmDG
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
GCG
He had a life full of pain, lived a life full of hope
EmAmD
Stayed in bars drinking jars of Irish whiskey on the run
GC
In a world full of tears, in a world of mistrust
EmAmDG
He just lived on borrowed time and wasted all these precious years
