Verse: A You ask me if iʼm happy now E Thatʼs good as any joke iʼve heard It seems since iʼve seen you last A Iʼve done forgotten the meening of the words If happiness is empty rooms And drinkinʼ in the afternoon D Well i suppose iʼm happy as a clown E But if itʼs got a thing to do With smilinʼ of forgettinʼ you A Well i donʼt guess that i could say i am Chorus: A Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone E Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds that sop the paper A Heʼs been puttinʼ in his shoes to keep the ground from cominʼ through And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants D Because heʼs never seen a single dream come true E Thatʼs the way that iʼve been feelinʼ since the day i started fallen From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew A Learninʼ hard to live with losinʼ you Verse: A You wonder if iʼm better off E With freedom now to do the things i choose With all my times my own and A I got nothinʼ left but sleepinʼ time to lose Thereʼs no one here to carry on If i stay out the whole night lone D Give a thinkerʼs damn if i donʼt call E Iʼm livinʼ like i wanted you And doinʼ things i wanna do A And nothinʼ means a things to me at all Chorus.
