| | Am |
| | I kissed the kids at noon, |
| | G# |
| | Then stumbled out the room, |
| | G | F# |
| | I caught a cab, ran | up a tab |
| Best recital I had to ruin. |
| Missed my son's graduation. |
| Punched the nickels boy for taking his seat. |
| He gets all that anger from me. |
| (He just starts strumming those chords) |
| Still things could be much worse. |
| Natural disasters on the evening news. |
| Still things could be much worse. |
| Chorus (normal open chords) |

| | I promised to my | wife and | children | |
| | C | G | F |
| I'd never touch a | nother drink as | long as I live. | |
| | C | G | F |
| But even then, it | sounds so | soothing. | |
