 Am C G D 
     
      Am      C        G             D        
 This song is sung for anyone that's listening
 Am           C       G               D  
 This song is for the broken-spirited man
 Am           C   G           D       
 This song is for anyone left standing
 Am C G D (pick D chord)
 After the strain of a slow sad end

 (5) --3---2---0
 

 
 It seems everybody wants what someone else has
 And there's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask
 With a beer in each hand and a smile in between
 All around's a world grown mean
 
 (chorus)
            E   C  
 Well we've all had
     E       C    
 Our ups and downs
           E      C           E   
 It's been mostly down around here

          Am         C              G              D    
 Now this whole damn mess should be becoming quite clear
 
                  G           G/F# Em            D     
 Looks like we're all looking for  a life worth livin'
        Am     C     G            D    
 That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
       G           G/F# Em            D     
 We're all looking for  a life worth livin'
        Am     C            G        D   
 That's why we pray for our souls to keep
 
 There's nothing left now but broken pieces
 Of one man's broken will to care
 And in the end before all is said and done
 How many others might follow him there
 
 (same chords as chorus)
 But midnight is coming round
 It's still mostly down around here
 Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear
 
 Looks like we're all looking for a life worth livin'
 That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
 We're all looking for a life worth livin'
 That's why we pray for our souls to keep
