       G                  C          D
Makin' money at 30 with a wife and a son
       G                       A7           D
Then a short 5 years later, it all comes undone
      G                          C          D
She's gone back to mama with the boy by her side
        G                           D          G
Now I'm wine drunk and runnin' with them on my mind
 

Chorus:
           C                      G
I'm on the backside of thirty and back on my own
   B7                    C           D 
An empty apartment don't feel like a home
       C                       G
On the backside of thirty, the short side of time
                        D          C
Back on the bottom with no will to climb


It's dawn Monday mornin' and I just called in sick
I skipped work last Friday to drink this month's rent
And when my friends ask me I tell  'em I'm fine
But my eyes tell the story that my lies can't hide
