D            C              G
the red wine flows from the silver cup

D               
my older brother tells me
C         G
"hey kid, drink it up"
D                              C                G
and when the sun comes up i do not know where i am

i put my tie on
and i brush my teeth
i get my shoes ready for the rest of the week


[chorus]


i'm tired of work, she says, where's romeo?
i say: "i think i saw him leave an hour ago
with some guy"

she says: "not that again"
i say: "my house is a hotel
and i'm not funny,
but i'm standing right in front of you
and i got money"

[chorus]


you write me letters about where you are
i want to drive there
but don't own a car

the tv tells me one more time about
someone's death
when the sky is cloudy 
i'm short of breath

[chorus]


the sun comes up and the sun goes down
you finish work
and you head into town
the sun goes down and the sun comes up
you read the paper and drink a cup


[chorus]

if we all gave each other
just one dollar
we'd all be millionaires
you've seen the movie before and it's not changin'
but that's no reason to put on airs

[chorus]

every light is red
every stop sign calls your name
you wake up laughin'
and ashamed
there's a man on a bridge
with a choice
he shouts so loudly
we can't hear his voice


[chorus]

Em
it's a sad life
Am
if you want it to be
C
it's a happy life
D                 G
if you play it in C
