Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 1]
Well, I re[Am]member what you [G]told me
Said [F]drinkin' was unholy
So [Am]Lord, can you [G]point me to the [F]creek?
And I [Am]still keep it [G]with me
Tucked [F]under all the memories
Your [Am]voice echo[G]in' throughout [F]those trees

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 2]
And through [Am]unfavored [G]weather
And [F]holes in the leather
These [Am]boots still [G]covered in [F]tar
Well, I'm still [Am]prayin' to the [G]Heavens
And [F]hopin' for them sevens
But [Am]hope only [G]gets a man [F]so far

[Chorus 1]
[Am]When this game of [G]life
plays [F]heavy on my heart
[Am]And love is [G]tough,
but loneli[F]ness is twice as hard
[Am]And I'll carry t[G]hat 'bout [F]everywhere I go
And they say [Am]pressure makes [G]diamonds
How the [F]hell am I still coal?

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][F]
[Am][G][F]

[Verse 3]
Now I've seen [Am]Heaven without [G]dyin'
Met the [F]Devil without tryin'
And they [Am]both seem to [G]wanna talk to [F]me
But I'm [Am]all out of l[G]uck now
And my [F]dreams aren't worth a buck
How it's [Am]tough tryin' to [G]land on [F]my feet

[Chorus 2]
[Am]When this game of [G]life
plays [F]heavy on my heart
[Am]And love is [G]tough,
but loneli[F]ness is twice as hard
[Am]And I'll carry t[G]hat 'bout [F]everywhere I go
And they say [Am]pressure makes [G]diamonds
How the [F]hell am I still [F]coal?

[Bridge 1]
When every [Am]day is gettin' [G]colder
Since that [F]day in October
When you [Am]told me it was [G]over, so I [F]left
'Cause if you [Am]need me, well, I [G]told ya
I'm on the [F]better side of sober
Tryin' to [Am]find a four-leaf [G]clover
To get me [F]out of this mess

[Chorus 3]
[Am]This game of life[G]
plays [F]heavy on my heart
[Am]And love is [G]tough,
but loneli[F]ness is twice as hard
[Am]And I'll carry t[G]hat 'bout [F]everywhere I go
And they say [Am]pressure makes [G]diamonds
How the [F]hell

[Chorus 4]
[Am]This game of life[G]
plays [F]heavy on my heart
[Am]And love is [G]tough,
but loneli[F]ness is twice as hard
[Am]And I'll carry t[G]hat 'bout [F]everywhere I go
And they say [Am]pressure makes [G]diamonds
How the [F]hell am I still coal?
