Intro
F A#/F x4
[Verse 1]
F A#/F F A#/F
It's another lonely evening
A#/F Eb A#/F Eb
In another lonely town
C5 F5
But I ain't too young to worry
Eb A#
And I ain't too old to cry
F A#/F F A#/F
When a woman gets me down
F A#/F F A#/F
Got another empty bottle
A#/F Eb A#/F Eb
And another empty bed
C5 F5
Ain't too young to admit it
Eb A#
And I'm not too old to lie
F A#/F F A#/F
I'm just another empty head

[Verse 2]
F A#/F F A#/F
Broke another promise
A#/F Eb A#/F Eb
And I broke another heart
C5 F5
But I ain't too young to realize
Eb A#
That I ain't too old to try
F A#/F F A#/F
Try to get back to the start
F A#/F F A#/F
And it's another red-light nightmare
A#/F Eb A#/F Eb
Woah, another red-light street
C5 F5
And I ain't too old to hurry
Eb A#
Cause I ain't too old to die
F A#/F F A#/F
But I sure am hard to beat
