Standard (EADGBE)

 I got drunk by myself last night.

 They say its no way to make things right

 I just didnt have anything better to do

 The dog was asleep on the living room rug and

 I watched a show about crime and drugs

 Finished a bottle of bourbon until it was through

(verse 2 - same chord pattern)

I dont care that I can’t sleep

I’d just as soon stay up all week

I might get some things done while others dream

The heater broke and the room got cold

And my knees and ankles say I’m gettin’ older

The phone finally rang but it wasn’t for me

Chorus

 If everyone was together

 I guess no one would be alone

Life’s a lot of trade offs in the end

Somewhere in the fields of heather

 The proud souls laugh and they love together

 Somewhere between passion and losing friends

Verse 3

( same as verse 1&2)

Sleep finally came but I woke up alone

My head was next to the telephone

I gave the sun a cussin’ as I drew the shades

One thing that always seems true

That’s when I’m hung over the sky is blue

A rough night for me will make a hell of a day

And I believe in ghosts and democracy

And that each man should leave his legacy

Be that mans work great or be it small

I don’t believe in everything like

The designated hitter or that diamond rings

Will make love last forever for one and all

(chorus)

Cause if everyone should be together

 Why are some many left alone

Life’s a lot of trade offs in the end

Somewhere in the fields of heather

 The proud souls laugh and they love together

Somewhere between passion and losing friends

Somewhere between passion and losing friends
