Back Side Of Thirty Chords

1.
G.                         C.        G
Making money at 30 with a wife and a son
                            A.          D
Then a short 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 running with them on my mind
(Chorus)
           C.                   G
I'm on the back side of 30 and back on my own
                          C.          D
An empty apartment don't feel like a home
       C.                   G.           D
On the back side of 30 the short side of time
                        D.         G
Back on the bottom with no will to climb
2.
    G.                         C.            G
Its dawn Monday morning and I just called in sick
                               A.               D
I skipped work last Friday to drink this months rent
     G.                       C.          D
And when my friends ask me I tell em I'm fine
       G.                     D.            G
But my eyes tell a story that my lies can't hide

(Chorus)(End)
