This Wreck of a Life

guitar tabs lyrics

Sam Roberts

G F#m Em D
You know that bad luck will eat you up
G A
When�s it gonna end?
G F#m Em
I twisted everything I could
D
Out of words
G A G A
In real life my colours never blend

D G A
When I was a boy I said to myself
D G F#m
That I�d never lean on anyone else
D
Oh, but I was wrong
G
Yeah I was wrong
A
And my mother took me by the hands and then


D G A
Oh, oh how I prayed
D G F#m A
That the good Lord would come and take me away
D G A
From this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
D G F#m A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this mess of a life that I�m in


G F#m
Come on you got a lot to give
Em
A lot to live for
D G A
And hope it all gets better
G F#m Em
You twisted everything you can out of anything
D G A G A
I know it�s gonna get better
D G A
And I�m so sick and tired of lying around
D G F#m
We�re all waiting for someone to light up this town
D
Oh, it won�t be long
G
It won�t be long
A D
And I know I should have left town but I stayed
G A
Oh how I prayed
D G F#m A
That the good Lord would come and take me away
D G A
From this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
D G F#m A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this mess of a life that I�m in


D G A
Oh and it feels like I�m writing a book and I can�t get inspired
D
Sometimes
G A
It seems that I�m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
D
Oh well
G
I�ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don�t get me
A
fired
D
And I�m asking you please
G A
Oh oh how I prayed
D G F#m A
That the good Lord would come and take me away
D G A
From this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
D G F#m A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
And oh, oh how I prayed
D G F#m A
That the good Lord would come and take me away
D G A
From this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
D G F#m A
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this mess of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this mess of a life that I�m in (and I fell to my knees)
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
D G A D
In this wreck of a life that I�m in
