Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 I was pourin' out my troubles

 To a stranger in the bar

 About the problems and the pressures

 On a country music star

 Half braggin', half complainin'

 bout the money and the fame

And just how lonely life can be

 When you've made yourself a name

Chorus

 I said would you like a drink

 He said thanks, I'll have a double

I've worked up a powerful thirst

 just listening to all your troubles

 And while he makes that drink

 I'll smoke one if you got 'em

It might be lonely at the top,

 but its a bitch at the bottom

Intro

I left a hundred on the table

and didn't wait around for change

with my load a little lighter

and my thinking rearranged

That stranger made me realize

how thankful I should be

And if I forget I hope those words

he said I hope come back to me

Chorus

I said would you like a drink

He said thanks, I'll have a double

I've worked up a powerful thirst

just listening to all your troubles

And while he makes that drink

I'll smoke one if you got 'em

It might be lonely at the top,

but its a bitch at the bottom

It might be lonely at the top,

 but its a bitch at the bottom
