       E                                                                       D    B7
In the cold early morning in the hills of Kentucky, I woke to the sound of the rain
        E                                                                 B7         E
And the girl from last evening laid silently sleeping though I couldn't remember her name.
   A                                                           E                       B7
My head was a pounding and the sweat poured around me like the faucet that she left on high,
       E                                   A           E             B7             E
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older and I swear I could break down and cry.

Verse

I Never once made a dollar, which I didn't gamble or scramble to burn at both ends.
I've raged all night long, in the hour before dawn on spirits and bitters and blends.
What's left of my day might be crimson or grey but never again black and white.
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older and I swear I could break down and cry.

Verse

I'm a fool with my money and I'm a fool with my drinking I'm sinking to bottom of the well,
Adding fuel to the fire like my wildest desire is to spend the next lifetime in hell.
I could cruise down to Hades, in a snow white Mercedes and a devilish look in my eye.
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older and I swear I could break down and cry.

Verse

There's a hard place on one side and a rock on the other, no corners to cut in this maze,
Only one way to do it, just to grin and bear through it, I've been drinking up the courage for days.
So I'll drain every cup and keep stacking them up ‘til the sun stumbles out of the sky
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older and I swear I could break down and cry.

I'll keep on this way till my last dying day, it's a blessing I've tried to disguise
       E                                   A           E             B7             E
With a chip on my shoulder I'm another day older and I swear I could break down and cry.
