Em  Am  C  D  Em  D 


[Verse 1]

Em                                    
I’ve been down to the bottom of a bottle
Am
I’ve lived my life stuck in full throttle
    D                                            Em     D
And slowin’ down, slowin’ down keeps grindin’ my gears
Em
And I took risks I never shoulda taken
Am                                      
I broke hearts that didn’t need breakin’
      C               D                          Em     D
And I don’t know why, don’t know why I can’t cry tears


[Chorus]

      G
And I just can’t seem to walk the line
     D
It’s always been easy to say goodbye
         Am
When I’m always runnin’
      C                       D
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind
      G
And I just can’t seem to get a clue
  D
I never seem to think things through
     Am                            C
It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight
         D              Em    D
With the fool inside of me


[Verse 2]

Em                                    
Too many times I’ve had to learn the hard way
Am
Made mistakes but tomorrow’s a new day
    D                                            Em     D
I’ve been there, done that, I ain’t lookin’ back
Em
Yeah and I lost track with man in the mirror
Am                                      
But a whiskey glass seemed to make things clearer
      C               D                          Em     D
And I don’t know why, don’t know why but I’ve got it bad


[Chorus]

      G
And I just can’t seem to walk the line
     D
It’s always been easy to say goodbye
         Am
When I’m always runnin’
      C                       D
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind
      G
And I just can’t seem to get a clue
  D
I never seem to think things through
     Am                            C
It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight
         D              Em    D
With the fool inside of me


[Bridge]

    G
And when I’m about to get things straight
    D
The fool in me takes a swing
   Am 
He always seems to find a way to
C       D      Em   D
Turn me upside down…yeah yeah


[Solo]

Em  Am  C  D  Em  D


[Chorus]

      G
And I just can’t seem to walk the line
     D
It’s always been easy to say goodbye
         Am
When I’m always runnin’
      C                       D
Ain’t nothin’ gonna change my mind
      G
And I just can’t seem to get a clue
  D
I never seem to think things through
     Am                            C
It’s T-U-F-F tuff, I can’t win the fight
         D              Em    D
With the fool inside of me


[Outro]

Em
Yeah fightin’ the fool
Am                D         Em
Fightin’ the fool inside of me
