INTRO: FFCBb VERSE: Dm I couldn't out drink anyone for nothing F But I'd act like it 'til I puked or passed out C Oooh, most nights I could get away with something Bb These days I don't seem to stand so proud VBERSE: Dm She asked me why can't I just stop drinking F Come on babe, we both know it's too late C Oooh, for either one of us to still be thinking Bb That I could live my life some other way CHORUS: Am Dm I woke up in New Orleans G Bb Angry at the world and all alone Am Dm I want you to know darling C Bb Bb I love you and I want to come back home VERSE: Dm It was less than graceful ladies I've said we'll see F I've drank with scoundrels, tramps and god damn fools C Oooh, but I don't think that much care if it kills me Bb Living life the man's just passing through VERSE: Dm The last few years were stitched with floss and pipe dreams F A quilt of poor intentions raveled out C Oooh, but it was you who took me in and saved me Bb It seems I've paid you back with slack and broken vows CHORUS: Am Dm And I woke up in New Orleans G Bb Angry at the world and all alone Am Dm I want you to know darling C Bb Bb I love you and I want to come back home BREAK: F Dm I know it should have been easy F Dm It's too late to change the path I chose Gm Am Bb This might not count for nothing Gm Bb F Bb Just want you to know CHORUS: Am Dm I woke up in New Orleans G Bb Angry at the world and all alone Am Dm I want you to know darling C Bb I love you and I want to come back home C Bb Bb I love you and I want to come back home
