F# B/F# F# B/F#
It's another lonely evening
B/F# Fb B/F# Fb
In another lonely town

But I ain't too young to worry

When a woman gets me down

Got another empty bottle

And I'm not too old to lie
F# B/F# F# B/F#
I'm just another empty head

F# B/F# F# B/F#
Broke another promise

And I broke another heart

But I ain't too young to realize
Fb B
That I ain't too old to try

Try to get back to the start
F# B/F# F# B/F#
And it's another red-light nightmare
B/F# Fb B/F# Fb
Woah, another red-light street
C#5 F#5
And I ain't too old to hurry
Fb B
Cause I ain't too old to die

But I sure am hard to beat
