E
I was pourin' out my troubles
      A
To a stranger in a bar
         E
Of the problems and the pressures
     B
On a country music star
E
Half braggin', half complainin'
          A
'Bout the money and the fame
     E
And just how lonely lot can be
            B               E
When you've made yourself a name

[Chorus]
E        A
I said, "Would you like a drink?"
           E
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
E
I worked up a powerful thirst
                            B
Just listenin' to all your troubles"
     A
"And while he makes that drink
     E
I'll smoke one if you got it
E
It might be lonely at the top
           B             E
But it's a bitch at the bottom"

[Verse 2]
E
I left a hundred on the table
      A
And didn't wait around for change
       E
But my load a little lighter
       B
And my thinkin' rearranged
     E
That stranger made me realize
    A
How thankful I should be
  E
And if I forget, I hope those words
 B                 E
He said come back to me

[Chorus]
E        A
I said, "Would you like a drink?"
           E
He said, "Thanks, I'll have a double
E
I worked up a powerful thirst
                            B
Just listenin' to all your troubles"
     A
"And while he makes that drink
     E
I'll smoke one if you got it
E
It might be lonely at the top
           B             E
But it's a bitch at the bottom"
