It never got cold here but they know that the season's died

And I've been sleeping in a motel off 95
               C#             B
I don't really mind it much
                  A              B
The clerk at the desk is nice

Well, he pours me a coffee and asks me if it's been a long night

Well, I found a bar that's just outside the township line
                    C#            B
And I go there most every night
              A               B
I drank my last paycheck dry
 E                      G#                A               B
And outside, a homeless man asks me for change and I
                    C#              B
I look him straight in his eyes
             A            B
He starts to apologize
           A                                      E                A'
Tells me "God's got a plan for me and that it'll be alright"
 
[Chorus]
                              E             A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
                               E             A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
                               E             A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
 
[Verse]
 
   E                      G#         A                       B
The owner's been giving me a break on my rent this week
                 C#             B
He says that I'm good for it
                 A               B
Well, I joke how I'm probably
E                       G#             A
But I came up short again and nobody's laughing
B                   C#       B
So I'll sneak out at 2 am
              A             B
I can't do it honestly
        A                               E                  A'
Well, I know I'm a coward and I feel a bad night coming
 
[Chorus]
 
                            E                 A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
                               E                 A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
                               E                 A'
Didn't know that I looked that pathetic
          E
Didn't know
 
[Verse]
 
            A                                B
So pour me another drink for a daughter I'll never meet
                 G#            A           E
A wife who don't love me and a cold cup of coffee
            A                              B
So pour me another drink and I'll count my blessings
                   G#                A                 E
Got a half tank of gas left and this bottle ain't empty
