Intro
C# F#/C# x4
[Verse 1]
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
It's another lonely evening
F#/C# Cb F#/C# Cb
In another lonely town
G#5 C#5
But I ain't too young to worry
Cb F#
And I ain't too old to cry
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
When a woman gets me down
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
Got another empty bottle
F#/C# Cb F#/C# Cb
And another empty bed
G#5 C#5
Ain't too young to admit it
Cb F#
And I'm not too old to lie
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
I'm just another empty head

F# C#
(Ride on) Standing on the edge of the road

(Ride on) One of these days I'm gonna change my evil ways, huh

Till then I'll just keep riding on

[Verse 2]
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
Broke another promise
F#/C# Cb F#/C# Cb
And I broke another heart
G#5 C#5
But I ain't too young to realize
Cb F#
That I ain't too old to try
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
Try to get back to the start
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
And it's another red-light nightmare
F#/C# Cb F#/C# Cb
Woah, another red-light street
G#5 C#5
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cb F#
Cause I ain't too old to die
C# F#/C# C# F#/C#
But I sure am hard to beat
