D#mE
I lost my job today at the rail yard
BF#
Hours were cut, so I was cut, too
D#mE
First in, last out, last call, and self-doubt
BF#
If only there were more that I could do
D#mE
See, I’ve flipped through the newspaper classifieds
BF#
But every listing says “diploma required”
D#mE
See, I failed, I tried; I got drunk to pass time
BF#
Perhaps a sober state of mind would follow through
[Chorus]
B F# E N.C.
And so what if I’m scared of dying alone?

[Verse 2]
D#mE
I always thought I’d grow up to get my daddy’s job
BF#
But they cut him loose when a machine took it on
D#mE
As I say, as I do, one drink, then a few
BF#
I watched him slip away back then, and that’s just what I lived up to
[Bridge]
BF#E
These debts grow taller than me
[Chorus]
BF#EE
And so what if I’m scared of dying alone? In an unmarked grave?
BF#EE
And honestly, I swear that I’ll never know, If I can pay back the debts I owe
[Bridge]
F#G#mE
First in, last out
F#G#mE
(First in, last out) It’s what this life’s all about
F#G#mE
Who you are, who you know, what you’ve done, how you
F#G#mE
Grow...

[Last Chorus]
BEE
And so what if I’m scared of dying alone? In an unmarked grave?
BF#EE
And honestly, I swear that I’ll never know, At least I tried to pay back the debts I owe
BF#
Ohhh, whoahhh, ohhhhh, woah, ohhh, ohhh
EE
Ohhh, whoahhh, ohhhhh, woah, ohhh, ohhh
BF#
Ohhh, whoahhh, ohhhhh, woah, ohhh, ohhh
(first in, last out) (first in, last out)
EE
Ohhh, whoahhh, ohhhhh, woah, ohhh, ohhh
(first in, last out) (first in, last out)
