Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Gm][D][G]
[Gm][G]
Well [Gm]I'm swimmin'

[Verse 1]
in debt
[G]An d the money's all gone
[Gm]I ain't got noth[G]in' I can call my own
[Gm]Work my fingers [G]to the blood and bone[Gm]
For a big disappointment
[G]when my [Gm]paycheck comes
[G]If [C]I only had a little I could do just fine
I could [G]put a down payment
on some peace of mind
But I'm [D]hangin' at the
[A]end [D]of a credit line
[Gm]Lord I'm just livin' [G]on
borrowed time
[Gm][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[Gm]
[G]My truck's [Gm]finance[D]d
[G]through the union bank
[Gm]But I don't have e[D]nough
to [G]even fill [D]the tank
[Dm]I'd [Gm]take you f[G]or a drive, girl,
but I just can[D]'t
'Cause the [Gm]damned old
motor [G]won't even [Gm]crank
[G]Our [C]trailer's plenty big
if we lived outside
But I can[G]'t swing the
payments on a double wide
You [D]better hold a place in
that welfare line
[G]'Cause I'm just livin'
on borrowed time

[Verse 3]
[G]Well [Gm]if it[G] comes[C] real cheap
but it don't come free
Then [Gm]it stays off limits [G]to a guy like me
They [C]say it brings trouble
having money to [G]burn
I [A]reckon that's a lesson I won't [D]have to learn

[Interlude 1]
[D][Gm]
[D][Gm][G][Gm][G]
[C][G][D][Gm][F][G]
[D][G][D][Gm]
Well if [G]it comes

[Verse 4]
[C]real cheap
but it don't come free
Then [G]it stays off [D]limits to a [G]guy like [D]me
They [C]say it brings trouble
having money to [G]burn
I [A]reckon that's a lesson I
won't [D]have to learn

[Verse 5]
Yeah I [G]bought my [D]wife a
[G]little [Gm]dia m[G]ond [D]ring
Her mo[Gm]m said, "Hun,[D]
can't [G]even see that [D]thing"
[G]It'll [Gm]be paid of[D]f when I[G]'m sixty-five
[D]If [Gm]If I'm lucky enough to still be alive
[C]Even if I was to up and pass away
My fam[G]ily doesn't have
enough to dig my grave
[D]No tombstone just an old wood sign
Sayin' [Gm]'He was j[G]ust
livni' on borrowed time
I'm [D]out there swingin' from a credit line
[G]Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time
[Gm]Lord I'm just livin' [G]on borrowed [G]time
