       F#m   A                       D      A
Well I got a job and tried to put my money away,
          F#m           A      D       A
but I got debts that no honest man can pay
     F#m         A            D       A
So I drew what I had from the Central Trust,

Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
          F#m             A        D         F#m

Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
      D                          F#m        A       F#m                   A
We're goin' out where the sand's turnin' to gold so put on your stockin's baby 
           F#m             A
'cause the night's getting cold
 
         F#m        A         D        A
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
          F#m             A        D         F#m
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
 
           A             F#m          D       A
Now I been lookin' for a job but it's hard to find
                    F#m         D                                  A
Down here it's just winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of 
     F#m
that line
         A               D           F#m
Well I'm tired of comin' out on this losin' end;
         A                     D                             A         F#m
so honey last night I met this guy and I'm gonna do a little favor for him
 
             F#m        A         D        A
Well I guess everything dies baby that's a fact,
          F#m             A        D         F#m
but maybe everything that dies someday comes back
         A       D             A
Put your hair up nice fix your hair up pretty,
    F#m       A          D      A
