Darryl Worley - Awful, Beautiful Life

INTRO:  [D]   [G]  (x4)

[D]I woke up [G]early with a [D]pounding in my [G]head
I'd been [D]out the night be[G]fore with all my [D]friends [G]
[D]A little [G]worried, kinda [D]wondering what I [G]did
I said, [D]Lord please for[G]give me for my [D]sins
My [A]wife wanted to kill me but she [G]tried to save me first
[A]You're goin' if I have to [G]drag your butt to church

CHORUS:
[D]I love this [G]crazy tragic, [D]sometimes al[G]most magic
[D]  Awful, [G]beauti[A/E]ful [D]life

[D]I read the [G]hymns and kinda [D]sorta sang a[G]long
Made it [D]through the Sunday [G]sermon wide a[D]wake  [G]
[D]We met the [G]family for [D]dinner at our [G]home
Drank some [D]beer, watched the [G]game and cooked some [D]steak
[A]My little brother had a [G]big fight with his wife
And [A]our poor mother sat be[G]tween em both all night

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
[Bm]We said a prayer for cousin [F#m]Michael in Iraq
[Bm]We're all aware that he may [F#m]never make it back
[Bm]We talked about the way we [F#m]missed his stupid jokes
[G]And how he [D/F#]loved to be a [Em7]soldier more than [A]most

[D]I lay in [G]bed that night and [D]thought about the [G]day
And how my [D]life is like a [G]roller-coaster [D]ride  [G]
[D]The ups and [G]downs and crazy [D]turns along the [G]way
It'll [D]throw you off if [G]you don't hold on [D]tight
[A]You can't really smile un[G]til you shed some tears
[A]I could die today or I [G]might live on for years

CHORUS (x2)
