Verse 1: G You ask me if i'm happy now D That's good as any joke i've heard It seems since i've seen you last G I've done forgotten the meening of the words If happiness is empty rooms And drinkin' in the afternoon C Well i suppose i'm happy as a clown D But if it's got a thing to do With smilin' of forgettin' you G Well i don't guess that i could say i am Chorus: G Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone D Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds that sop the paper G He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants C Because he's never seen a single dream come true D That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallen From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew G Learnin' hard to live with losin' you Verse 2: G You wonder if i'm better off D With freedom now to do the things i choose With all my times my own and G I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose There's no one here to carry on If i stay out the whole night lone C Give a thinker's damn if i don't call D I'm livin' like i wanted you And doin' things i wanna do G And nothin' means a things to me at all Chorus.

There are a few errors in the lyrics. I wanted to repost the correct lyrics for the chorus, which I feel should be corrected to get the proper meaning of this song :)
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the leaves has soaked the papers
G
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' thr ough
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
C
Cause he's never seen a single dream come true
D
That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
G
Learnin' hard to live wi th losin' you
