   A#
My best friend's ship is sinkin'
    G#
She thinks her man's been cheatin'
    A#                          G#
And me, I put my dog down yesterday
     A#
And when the walls start fallin'
      G#
I can hear the whiskey callin'
 A#                                   G#
Sounds like we could both just use a drink

A#                  G#
Ain't that how life goes?
No, we ain't alone

Chorus:
D#         A#     Cm        A#
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
G#
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
D#         A#  Cm    A#
Someone's celebratin'
      G#
While someone's heart is breakin'
          Cm                       A# 
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
          G#
There's a neon light on the edge of town
          D#     A#  Cm    A#  G#
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
                          A#
We'll be keeping bars in business

There's a couple in a back booth
Just got back from Cancun
Getting Blue Moon drunk in that honeymoon phase
And by the window, there's an old man
With a ring still on his left hand
Even though she's been gone
Ten years to the day

Chorus:
D#         A#     Cm        A#
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
G#
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
D#         A#  Cm    A#
Someone's celebratin'
      G#
While someone's heart is breakin'
          Cm                       A# 
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
          G#
There's a neon light on the edge of town
          D#     A#  Cm    A#  G#
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
                         Cm        A#  G#
We'll be keeping bars in business

                Cm       A#  G#
Keeping bars in business

      A#                  G#
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
              A#   G#
No, we ain't alone
              A#   G#
No, we ain't alone

Chorus:
Someone's cryin', someone's kissin'
Someone's smilin', someone's bitchin'
Someone's celebratin'
While someone's heart is breakin'
If you're on cloud nine or you've been knocked down
There's a neon light on the edge of town
So if the world just keeps on spinnin'
We'll be keeping bars in business
Keeping bars in business

Yeah, life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Life is hard, so it ain't hard
Yeah, ain't that how life goes?
