Couplet
I've been Emsitting here crying since Clong before the day beGgan
With my Dpockets full of nothing but broken dreams and my Amhead in my empty hands C
The Emwinnings that I thought I had and Ccome so far to get G
Are Dfurther away than they've ever been they've been Ctaken by another Gman
| G | G | G | G |
Couplet
I Emwouldn't take a train for Chome even if I Gcould
'Cause they've been Dsaving their joy for the hometown boy who Amwent away to make it good C
I bet they Emcleared the way the parlour so my CMa can dance me in the door G
And the Dold man can wink and pour me a drink and Cask me what the tears are for G
Refrain
It's Bmharder to try Cagain than it was to Gbegin
A man can Dplay a lone hand in a high stakes game but Cit doesn't mean he's gonna win G
B7Somehow I've got to Ckeep from getting further Gdown
Before I Dbuy myself a bottle of cheap escape and a Cticket to anoGther town

Couplet
I Emknow I'm not crying 'cause I Cthink I've had it mighty Gtough
DI did my best with all the rest but it Amjust wasn't good eCnough
And I've been Emworking and training too Clong just to make it Ghere
To merely Dswallow my pride and walk outside and Ccome back another Gyear
Refrain
It's Bmharder to try Cagain than it was to Gbegin
A man can Dplay a lone hand in a high stakes game but Cit doesn't mean he's gonna win G
B7Somehow I've got to Ckeep from getting further Gdown
Before I Dbuy myself a bottle of cheap escape and a Cticket to anoGther town
I want to Amdrown in the grape and Cmake my escape on a ticket to anoGther town
