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

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